This page provides information and resources to help about common student accommodations, and guidance on how to implement them to ensure fairness and equity.

Examples of Common Accommodations:

• Extended time and/or breaks on exams
• Adjustments to testing environment
• Assistive technology/software
• Adaptive lab equipment
• Preferred classroom/lab seating
• Notetaking support (audio recording, access to digital notetaking tools)
• Alternative format (Braille, enlarged font, screen reader compatible)
• Additional breaks during class
• Real-time captioning or ASL translation
• Occasional reasonable adjustments for deadlines (typically extensions of less than three days provided on a case-by-case basis)
• Occasional excused absences
• Reduced courseload (underload)

Please feel free to reach out to CASS at any time if you have questions about this process, concerns about an individual student with a disability, or would like guidance - we are here to help!
