Accommodation Request Analysis

In reviewing accommodation requests, the following seven questions are considered:

1. Does the student have a disability?
2. Is the student "otherwise qualified"?
3. Did the student request accommodation?
4. Was the request submitted in a timely manner and consistent with established university policies for making requests?
5. Is the request reasonable and/or readily achievable?
6. Is the nature of the program or activity fundamentally altered by the provision of the accommodation?
7. Does the provision of the accommodation present an undue financial or administrative burden on the university?

If the answer is "yes" to questions 1-5 and "no" to 6-7, then an accommodation should be provided. If this decision test is not met, then an accommodation may be denied.
