Accommodate is an electronic file management system used by the Office of Accessibility Services to streamline and simplify the accommodation process for students. 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.
If you choose “Submit for All Accommodations”, then you will see that all your accommodations were requested for all your classes.
The Accessibility Coordinator will approve or deny the request. Once that is done you will see “Approved” or “Denied” to the right of the accommodation. You will also receive an email letting you know that you have a letter to review.
Once your request is approved you will receive an email letting you know that you have a letter to review.
You can request appointments with the Accessibility Coordinator in Accommodate.
Once you complete your request it will appear under Requested Appointments. When the appointment is approved by the Accessibility Coordinator it will move under Approved Appointments.
If you are approved for extended test time or testing in a distraction reduced environment, you will now schedule LEAD Center testing in Accommodate.
1. Select the Testing Room tab.
2. Click the “New Booking Request” button.
3. You will now fill out the rest of the form and complete the testing request. Keep in mind that you need to select the option that is closest to your scheduled class time.
Accommodate allows you and your professors to now review and sign your accommodation letters electronically. However, keep in mind it is still your responsibility to schedule a time with your professors to discuss the approved academic accommodations and make specific plans for how the appropriate accommodations will be implemented in each class.
Keep in mind that documentation needs to be updated every 3 years. If you began receiving accommodations your Freshman year and are going into your Senior year, then the Office of Accessibility will need updated documentation.
