Accommodation Plans outline the necessary accommodations for which the student is eligible. The Coordinator of Accessibility Resources creates the Accommodation Plan. Assigning appropriate accommodations requires an individualized, interactive process with the student to understand the context of their disability, their academic experience so far, and documentation from a healthcare provider. Signing a student’s Accommodation Plan lets both the student and the Accessibility Resources know you have been made aware of their accommodations.

2. On the left, click Accommodation Plans.
3. Scroll down to view all Accommodation Plans that have been shared with you. Those that have not yet been signed will have Requested in a black box next to the title. Those that have been signed will have Signed in a black box next to the title. Please sign each plan shared with you to indicate to the student and Accessibility Resources that you have seen the plan.
