Requesting Accommodations:

In order to be eligible to receive accommodations, students must complete a three-step process of self-identification. More information about this process is on the Student Access and Accommodation Services webpage (https://www.bsmcon.edu/student-access-and-accommodation-services-saas).

  1. Complete the Online Request for Accommodation Form

    This Request for Accommodation form is required in order to register with the Center for Student Success/ SAAS and should be completed by the student.

  2. Provide Documentation

    All students seeking accommodations must provide professional documentation of their accommodation needs. This starts with submitting the DOCUMENTATION OF DISABILITY FORM to their medical professional. This form must be completed and supplied by a licensed professional. Documentation that does not provide answers to the questions on the DOCUMENTATION OF DISABILITY FORM cannot be considered until all information is provided to the SAAS team. Documentation must also clearly explain the link between the barrier in the academic setting (classroom, clinical environment, etc.) and the disability in order to inform the process. The student is responsible for following through on their request with their medical professional.

  3. Review and Registration

    Once the Request Form and Documentation of Disability forms are received they will be reviewed, within one business week after receipt, to determine available services and supports. Following the review, the student will be contacted by the SAAS team to schedule a SAAS registration meeting.

    These meetings are a chance for students to clarify their needs and concerns, as well as familiarize themselves with the SAAS staff, procedures, and testing center if applicable. Students can expect for their meetings to be an open and interactive dialogue related to their request form, documentation, and learning experiences. They are scheduled during regular business hours.
