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.

Signing Accommodation Letters

  1. Any "Letters to Review" will appear directly on the homepage.

  3. Once you review the letter and scroll all the way down you will see a place to electronically sign. Once you type your name you will need to click the “Save” button to complete your signature. 

Viewing Students with Accommodations in Your Courses

  • In Accommodate you will be able to see which students in your courses have accommodations as well as what accommodations they have.
  • You can do this by logging in to Accommodate, selecting the tab to the left titled “Courses”, and selecting a course.
  • Once you select a course you can click on enrolled students to see a list of all students enrolled in that course who have accommodations.

Uploading Exams

  • Faculty will now be able to upload exams and testing materials into Accommodate for the LEAD Center. 
  • This is a secure way to provide the exam to the LEAD Center. Only the LEAD Center and Accessibility Office have access to these materials. There is no way for students to access testing materials.
  • Please keep in mind this is only for students with approved testing accommodations through the Office of Accessibility.
