Accommodations
The LTC’s Office of Learning Resources (OLR) is a resource for incoming and current students with disabilities and/or medical conditions to receive academic, testing, housing, dietary, or parking accommodations for permanent and temporary disabilities. This includes accommodations for service animals and emotional support animals.
Requesting Accommodations
For an incoming or current student with a temporary or permanent disability and/or medical condition, students must complete the following Accommodation Request Process for any academic, testing, housing, dietary or parking accommodations at UD. This includes accommodations for service and support animals.
- Complete the Initial Accommodation Request form online.
- Schedule an appointment with the Office of Learning Resources by calling 937-229-2066.
- Provide documentation to support the student's accommodation request(s).*
*Documentation may be provided before, during, or after the appointment.
Step 1: Initial Accommodation Request Form
Complete the Initial Accommodation Request form, with the student's contact information, details about their disability or medical condition, and any specific accommodation(s) they are requesting. Students can upload supporting documentation into this form.
Step 2: Appointment(s)
A Students appointment will be an interactive discussion where they work with one of the OLR's experienced Access Coordinators to determine reasonable accommodations. Student's need to clearly describe their disability and/or medical condition and explain how the requested accommodation(s) will mitigate any barriers for them academically and/or non-academically.
