- Upon completion of your intake, ODS will review your information. Students will receive a response in a timely manner with one of the following application statuses:
When a student’s request for reasonable accommodations have been approved, the student will be contacted by their assigned disability coordinator at their campus to finalize the process for receiving their reasonable accommodations. Once approved, the student will have a follow up conversation with their coordinator, done in-person, over the phone, or via video; whatever is easiest for the student. During this conversation, there will be a review of how to implement the approved accommodations and assistance for the student in completing the Letter of Accommodations form.
This means that we require more information demonstrating your need for requested accommodations before the request can be approved. Your coordinator will provide further information on what specifically is required and will typically schedule a follow-up conversation, if necessary.
When a student’s request for reasonable accommodations is not approved, the coordinator will contact the student to explain the rationale for the denial and discuss next steps, if applicable.
