Support Services for Students with Disabilities

As an institution of higher education, Arcadia University has the responsibility of informing students with disabilities about the process of requesting reasonable accommodations. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate requests for accommodations and services by identifying themselves with Disability Support Services (DSS) in Knight Hall and to provide appropriate documentation. Such disclosures are kept confidential. Students must register with DSS in order to receive academic accommodations, classroom accommodations, housing accommodations, or other services due to a disability. 

For each subsequent semester that they are enrolled at Arcadia University students should meet with DSS to request the letters of accommodation for their classes. Ideally, this should occur before classes begin in order to put the necessary accommodations in place before the start of the semester; however, students may request accommodations at any time. Students do not need to provide new documentation for every semester unless they require accommodations that are not supported by current documentation on file.
