Academic Accommodations

Once you're officially enrolled as a student at Marquette, if you have a disability you may be eligible to receive assistance (accommodations) to enable you to participate in all university functions the same as your peers.  In order to receive accommodations, students must follow the process summarized below. 

1.  Provide appropriate documentation to the ODS Coordinator,

2.  Meet with the coordinator each semester PRIOR to the need

     for requested accommodations,

3.  Identify in that meeting the courses for which

     accommodations are requested,

4.  Deliver accommodations letters provided by the Coordinator

     to each instructor, and

5.  Discuss classroom needs with the instructor.

Some common academic accommodations include:

• alternate testing arrangements such as extra time or quiet locations,
• notetakers,
• texts in alternate formats including books on CD, and
• sign language interpreters, realtime captioning or C-Print to access classes.
