As a college student, you have the right to request accommodations to ensure your educational experience is accessible and equitable on your journey to academic excellence. Here are five common accommodations you can request:
1. Extended Test-Taking Time
2. Note-Taking Assistance
3. Accessible Materials
4. Alternative Formats for Exams and Assignments
5. Housing Accommodations
STILL, self-advocacy can be draining. I recommend asking for help, knowing your rights (a huge source of empowerment), and leaning on the support of your school’s disability services office. They help you with everything from gathering documentation through outreach to faculty.
Guilt and shame can come up whenever we’re asking for something we feel is “extra”, but there’s nothing extra or bad about you getting what you need to have the college experience and success you’ve been working hard for. I’m rooting for you!
P.S. Please sound off in the comment section with accommodations that have worked for you!
