Accommodations for Students
Caltech is committed to maintaining a diverse academic
community, and welcoming individuals with a broad spectrum of talents and
experiences to its campus and programs. Students with disabilities, actively
participating in all aspects of the Caltech experience, are an essential part
of that diversity.
Incoming students with disabilities who are interested in exploring academic or housing accommodations should visit the main page of CASS website (under the Accommodation Process section). Here you can find applications and instructions for the
2022-23 academic year.
Students may meet with a CASS specialist if you have questions about accommodations, the CASS registration process, or accessibility concerns. Please email cass@caltech.edu to schedule an appointment, or for additional information and resources.
If you need accommodations for the upcoming year, please take note of the following deadlines by which you should register with CASS and submit supporting documentation to ensure timely consideration of your accommodation requests:
Upcoming Deadlines for Class of 2027:
- For placement exam accommodations: May 31, 2023

Note: Students may register for accommodations at any time while they are at Caltech, but completed registration requests may take up to 30 days to process, so we strongly recommend that incoming students register with CASS as soon as possible.
