Accommodations
Accommodations and services for students with disabilities are provided to ensure equal access to educational opportunities, programs and activities in the most integrated setting possible. Reasonable accommodation in higher education, provided by faculty and staff, refers to an otherwise qualified disabled student's ability to fulfill course requirements in the classroom when faculty and staff provide equal access to learning. Faculty and staff accomplish this in the following ways:

- providing alternative ways to fulfill course requirements
- using innovative teaching techniques
- using technology
- tailoring course requirements to individual needs
- and adapting tests to assure measurement of a student with disability's knowledge, not the disability.
