Apply for Disability Services
Description of Process and Why
Student Disability Services uses a holistic approach when working with students who request accommodations. We believe each student deserves to be valued based on his or her unique experiences, history, and needs. Because of this, our process allows us to get to know each student and to customize approved assistance to each student’s individual needs.

STEP 5. When steps 1 – 4 are completed, SDS will complete a holistic review of all of the information you provided. We will then contact you regarding one of the following:
- Notification that we have approved your request for accommodations and information about how to schedule a final approval meeting with us.
- Notification that we need additional information from you before we can complete a review of your request for accommodations.
STEP 6. If it is determined you have a disability-related need for accommodations, you will be emailed with the next steps in the process.
STEP 7. Each semester, you will request approved accommodations via your Rebel Access Portal and will meet with your instructors to discuss your needs in each class.
