Documentation Guidelines

Disclosing your disability during the admission process is voluntary and a separate process from requesting accommodations. Documentation is not usually forwarded to Student Accessibility Services when a student applies for admission.

Student Accessibility Services provides academic accommodations. Students are responsible for securing transportation to and from campus for classes and other activities.

Students must notify instructors of intention to use accommodation and then contact schedule exams  2 days in advance using the Testing Room Booking process.

If an instructor refuses you an accommodation, please contact the Director of Accessibility Services, Dr. Renee’ Sartin Kirby, kirby@uwp.edu , or 262-595-2620.

Once this accommodation is approved, schedule your exams/quizzes through your Accommodate portal, at least two business days in advance. Failure to do so will cause you to have to work with your instructor in rescheduling the exam/quiz which may or not be available.
