Accommodations may be available to students with disabilities for the classroom and educational environment, on-campus accessible transportation needs, and other student-based responsibilities, activities, and programming. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure the smoothest experience, please be aware of the process to request accommodations for a disability or temporary health condition. We recommend that you begin this process once admission is confirmed at WSU Spokane. Accommodations are implemented in collaboration with students, faculty, and other university and community offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading wsu-heading--style-marked wsu-spacing-after--small\">Requesting Accommodations <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Access Services uses a system called MyAccess to request and renew accommodations. This system allows you to request and implement your accommodations online. However, not all accommodations can be managed this way, and you may need to visit our office if you have accommodations that require the collaboration of your instructors or other staff members.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n<div class=\"wsu-callout wsu-dropshadow--medium wsu-callout--style-basic wsu-border--add-top wsu-color-background--white wsu-border--color-crimson wsu-spacing-bottom--xmedium\" >\r\n        \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hours and Location<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>8 AM &#8211; 5 PM<\/strong> (Monday &#8211; Friday)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SAC 145<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick Links<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spokane.wsu.edu\/studentaffairs\/student-affairs\/access-and-wellness\/access-services\/documentation-guidelines\/\">Documentation Guidelines<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spokane.wsu.edu\/studentaffairs\/student-affairs\/access-and-wellness\/access-services\/reasonable-accommodations\/\">Reasonable Accommodations<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spokane.wsu.edu\/studentaffairs\/student-affairs\/access-and-wellness\/access-services\/testing-policies-and-procedures\/\">Testing Policies and Procedures<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/olympic.accessiblelearning.com\/WSU\/instructor\/Login.aspx\">Faculty Portal<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Submit your application<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To request accommodations, students should submit an application through&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/olympic.accessiblelearning.com\/WSU\/ApplicationStudent.aspx\">MyAccess<\/a>.&nbsp;MyAccess&nbsp;is an online system that facilitates the application process as well as the implementation of accommodations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Submit your documentation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Submit documentation verifying the presence of a disability or chronic medical condition. Please refer to&nbsp;the Documentation Guidelines&nbsp;to provide information that is useful in determining not only a disability but appropriate accommodations. Documentation may be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>uploaded directly to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/olympic.accessiblelearning.com\/WSU\/ApplicationStudent.aspx\">MyAccess<\/a>&nbsp;when completing the application for services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>scanned and emailed to&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:spokane.access@wsu.edu\">spokane.access@wsu.edu<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>confidential fax to 1.509.358.7538, ATTN: Jane Summers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>hard copy delivered to Kirk H.

Together, you and the Access Coordinator will determine the accommodations that are reasonable and appropriate for the current semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Renew each semester <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To renew your accommodations each semester, you simply need to request accommodations for your classes using MyAccess. For information on how to do this, <a href=\"https:\/\/accesscenter.wsu.edu\/resources\/video-tutorials\/\">please review our tutorials<\/a> or schedule an orientation meeting with your advisor. If you wish to change your accommodations, it is recommended that you make an appointment during the first two weeks of the semester.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":41121,"featured_media":0,"parent":1315,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"wsuwp_university_location":[],"wsuwp_university_org":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spokane.wsu.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/527"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spokane.wsu.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spokane.wsu.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spokane.wsu.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/41121"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spokane.wsu.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=527"}],"version-history":[{"count":191,"href":"https:\/\/spokane.wsu.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/527\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9495,"href":"https:\/\/spokane.wsu.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/527\/revisions\/9495"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spokane.wsu.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spokane.wsu.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spokane.wsu.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spokane.wsu.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=527"},{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spokane.wsu.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_location?post=527"},{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_org","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spokane.wsu.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_org?post=527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
