Accommodate for Faculty

What is Accommodate?

Accommodate is an electronic file management system used by the Office of Accessibility Services to streamline and simplify the accommodation process. Accommodate keeps all student disability and accommodation information confidential. Accommodate allows the Office of Accessibility Services to process accommodation requests, schedule accessibility appointments, and coordinate testing in the LEAD Center all in one place.
