What is Accommodate?

Accommodate is a platform that helps educational institutions modernize the accommodation request process, to simplify applying for, delivering, and monitoring student accommodations. It streamlines and automates processes to quickly deliver accommodations. 

Students and faculty access through their dedicated sites to quickly view accommodation plans and review received notifications. Students can additionally request additional ADA services and interact with the Accessibility Office through their Accommodate site.
