What if a Student is denied an academic adjustment or does not accept a recommended accommodation?
There is an appeal process that the students can use if their request for an accommodation is denied. The steps and form for the Academic Accommodations Appeal can be downloaded from the Academic Appeals page. If a student chooses not to use accommodations that have been recommended, that is the student’s decision. Faculty are responsible for being aware of the need when notified and responding appropriately. Many accommodations require very little effort on the instructor’s part.
