Academic accommodations provide students with disabilities equal access to educational opportunities and allow them to demonstrate their learning. Academic accommodations do not compromise the essential elements of a course or curriculum, nor do they weaken the academic standards or integrity of a course. Rather, they simply provide an alternative way to meet the course requirements by eliminating or reducing disability-related barriers.
Once a student has registered with DALE, the student must complete the steps below to activate their academic accommodations each semester/term.
DALE requires students to initiate all new accommodations (i.e. not previously approved) by the last day to withdraw from classes for the current semester/term. If a student has not met with DALE by this date, DALE will not be able to provide accommodations for the current semester. In the case of an emergency, this process may be abridged on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the Director of Institutional Equity.
