Graduate Assistantship Accommodations
Student Disability Resources (SDR) provides accommodations for graduate students with documented disabilities who are engaged in teaching, research, or related assistantships. These accommodations are determined through an individualized process involving the student’s disability specialist and, as appropriate, the student’s supervisor and/or graduate program leadership.
Accommodations
Examples include:
- Accessible office furniture or workspace modifications
- Assistive technology
- Alternate devices or assistance for lab or clinical tasks
- Adjustments to work schedules (e.g., flexible hours, delayed start times)
Academic Progress and Funding Considerations
If a student registered with SDR is not making sufficient academic progress, decisions regarding continued funding support (such as assistantship renewal) are made collaboratively by the graduate program, SDR, and the Office of General Counsel (OGC), when appropriate.
