If you need assistance with filling out this form you will receive assistance from a member of the RCDS staff.

II) When and how often should I complete this form?

A Semester Accommodation Form needs to be completed at the beginning of each semester. If you are a new student enrolled in classes you will complete one at the time of the intake meeting. If you are a returning student, you will need to complete one at the beginning of each semester or when you are requesting new accommodations based on medical changes.

III) What information do I need in order to complete this form? 

You should have the following information when you complete this form: 1) course titles, 2) course number(s), 3) meeting day(s), time(s), and location(s) 4) name(s) of faculty. Once you have completed the form, you should meet with the appropriate disability RCDS specialist to review and discuss your requests for that semester. 

IV) How soon after completing the Semester Accommodation Form will I receive services?

Once you complete the form, a disability specialist reviews your request. If it is determined that you are eligible for that specific accommodation, you will be given a Confidential Faculty Letter. When you return the signed Confidential Faculty Letter, your services will be coordinated. There are different timelines based on the service(s) you request.

The RCDS will make every effort to accommodate you, and you should make every attempt to adhere to these guidelines. The guidelines are being implemented to ensure that you are receiving reasonable and appropriate accommodations.
