Student Disability Services (SDS)
Student Disability Services (SDS) at the University of Iowa actively supports students with disabilities. We collaborate with students, faculty, and staff to deliver academic accommodations and create a welcoming educational environment. If you wonder about whether you qualify for academic accommodations, please contact SDS.
Applying for Accommodations
Applying for accommodations is a two-part process, done online:
- Gather your Documentation from a Health Care Provider
- Complete the online application form (opens a new window with Workflow Form)
Student Disability Services staff review the recommendations in the professional report submitted on the students’ behalf and determines eligibility for services. Please allow 2-3 weeks from the time all materials have been received for this review to be completed, and four weeks for accommodations related to final exams.
You do not need to re-apply for accommodations and our automated system means you can access the Letters of Accommodations when you are ready to give them to your instructors at the beginning of the semester.
For more information about the application process, visit the SDS website.
