Request Accommodations

Students who wish to make a request for accommodations at Bryn Mawr must complete the following three steps:

  1. Complete and submit the self-identification form
  2. Upon submission of the form above, you will receive an automatic email that provides our scheduling link - please select a time that works for you
  3. Submit current documentation from a qualified individual that supports the accommodation request

Note: A "complete request" for accommodations includes a self-identification form, a meeting with Access Services, and the submission of relevant documentation that meets our guidelines.

Students are strongly advised to register with Access Services as early as possible. It can take several weeks to review documentation and determine eligibility.

Once all three steps above are completed, Access Services will review to determine if the student is eligible for accommodations.  Students will be notified about their eligibility via their Bryn Mawr email account.

Determination of the need for accommodations is based on the following:

  • The student’s description of need, current symptoms and experiences, and prior history of needing/receiving accommodations in similar circumstances
  • Current limitations resulting from the condition that have a substantial effect on functioning in the ±©·ç×ÊÔ´ environment, as identified in the documentation
  • Essential course and program requirements

Please note that a prior history of accommodations does not mean that similar accommodations will automatically be provided at the College. Consideration of a student’s current functioning and needs is important when confirming eligibility and determining appropriate accommodations. Also, the College is not obligated to make an adjustment that would fundamentally alter an essential element of a course, program, service, or activity. Reasonable accommodations are implemented to provide students with equal access, they do not guarantee success. Accommodations are not implemented retroactively.
