Apply with SAC
To request academic, meal plan, or housing accommodations related to a disability, qualifying students must apply for registration with SAC. All requests for disability accommodations are reviewed on an individualized, case-by-case basis by SAC staff.
APPLY HERE!
Students can apply with SAC at any point during their academic career but are strongly recommended to beginthe process as early as possible, since accommodations are not retroactive. For Fall and Spring Semesters, students must apply with the SAC at least three weeks before the last day of classes for accommodation requests to be considered for the remainder of that semester.
If academic, meal plan, or housing accommodations are needed related to temporary disabilities (i.e., due to short-term – but serious – conditions resulting from major illness, surgery, or an accident), students should consult with SAC as soon as the condition is identified. Accommodations related to qualifying short-term disabilities will require expedited registration with SAC, so please CALL 773-508-3700.
Students and faculty are strongly advised not to attempt to arrange for disability accommodations outside of the official SAC process; it is in the best interest of both students and employees to ensure that all accommodation discussions and decisions are compliant with University policy and applicable legal standards, to protect privacy interests and prevent discrimination.
