By completing this application, you are requesting for the review of potential accommodations at The University of Akron. I understand that the Office of Accessibility recommends submitting this application, documentation, and connecting with the office early to start the process for support and accommodations. Students are encouraged to start the process by May, or three months prior to the first day of your first semester. Though students may start the registration process at any time, delaying the start of the registration process could prevent students from scheduling an intake, and having an accommodation plan prior to the start of the semester. To this end, I understand the Office of Accessibility recommends starting, and completing, the registration process early. I also understand the recommended timeline does not automatically qualify me for accommodations and/or services as the university reserves the right to determine appropriate documentation and if accommodations are warranted.
By submitting the application listed below, you agree to the following:
- I understand that admission to The University of Akron is a separate process.
