  • has identified himself/herself to the college through the Office of Disability Services (ODS), and
  • has presented appropriate documentation regarding the disability to the college as required by ODS (see documentation requirements) and requires accommodation(s).

Steps for Current Students

Current/registered students are those who have completed the registration process for the DS office and have received accommodation at Centenary in previous semesters. Students registered with the office must request accommodations each semester.

To request academic accommodations for a new semester, students should:

Complete a Disability Services Request Form and indicate that you are requesting accommodations received in previous semesters. The form will ask you a few additional questions about your current courses.

You will be copied on an email sent to your professors outlining your accommodations.
