Should you initiate the Interactive Process, please keep in mind:
The steps below will guide continuing students, confirmed first year students, and transfer students through the accommodation request process.
AES cannot guarantee that accommodation requests submitted after 7/25 will be processed before the beginning of the Fall semester.
Processing an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) request may take up to 60 days to allow time for a thorough review of documentation, engagement in the interactive process, and coordination with relevant campus departments.
Differences Between High School and College
Accessible Education Services (AES) provides accommodations for students with documented disabilities, ensuring they have equal access to academic programs and campus resources. While a high school IEP or 504 Plan can help guide what accommodations may be considered reasonable, college accommodations are ultimately determined through a student-driven Interactive Process. This process involves reviewing documentation and gathering input from the student to identify appropriate accommodations. For more details, the PDF above outlines the differences between accommodations in high school and in college.
For prospective or new students: Schedule a meeting to discuss any accommodation related questions.
