FAQ

Q: Who is eligible for accommodations?
Students are encouraged to talk to a member of Student Access and Accommodation Services if they have questions regarding their eligibility to receive accommodations. 

Q: Who do I contact with questions?
Students may contact Erica Stubblefield, Assistant Director, Center for Student Success, via email at Erica_Stubblefield@bshsi.org. 

Q: Do I need to tell my professors?
Once registered, yes. The SAAS team will give you an Accommodations Memo and guide you through the steps to share it with your faculty.

Q: Is my information private?
Yes. Disability information is confidential and only shared with faculty/staff who need to know. It will only be released if:

• You give written permission
• It's required by law
• It's need to help with your education

Q: What are my responsibilities?

• Complete the SAAS Request and Disclosure Form.
• Provide documentation from a qualified professional (you cover any costs)
• Request accommodations as early as possible (reviews can take up to 2 weeks)

Note: Accommodations aren't retroactive - you can't redo past work once they're approved. 

Q: How is my documentation reviewed?

• Each request is reviewed individually
• You'll meet with staff to discuss your needs, ask and answer questions, and create a plan
• Accommodations are based on how your condition affects you in class and/or clinical - not just your diagnosis
• They may look different for each student and learning environment
