Accommodations and services are determined on a case-by-case basis and dependent on a student’s current functional limitations and the fundamental elements of each course. While students may be approved for the same, or similar, services they received previously, some accommodations that were appropriate in other settings may represent a fundamental alteration of a program within a medical education course and therefore cannot be approved.

Accommodations are determined on an individual, case-by-case and course-by-course basis. Through an interactive dialog facilitated within Disability Services, all relevant factors, including the impact of the disability on the student’s access, as well as the fundamental nature of the given course, will be considered. Requests for accommodations that would result in a fundamental alteration of the course or program are not reasonable and will not be approved.

Typically, students can expect to have a final determination regarding eligibility within two weeks of submission of the online Registration Form. However, missing or inadequate documentation, or failure to schedule an intake appointment with the Disability Officer can significantly delay the process.
