Center for Accommodation and Access
Below are the steps to request accommodations:
Step 1: Apply for Accommodations and upload documentation. See left navigation for documentation requirements.
Step 2: Meet with CAA Staff. An email will be sent to your CSU email prompting you to set up an intake meeting to review documentation and create an accommodation plan. You can also contact our office to set up a meeting.
Step 3: Request Faculty Notifications. During your intake meeting you will receive instructions to request faculty notifications.
The Center for Accommodation and Access coordinates the compliance of Columbus State University with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, P.L. 101-336 (July 26, 1990), as amended by P.L. 110–325 (September 25, 2008) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, not merely to achieve legality, but to foster academic potential through individualized plans tailored to the particular needs of students with disabilities. Students with documented physical, psychological, or cognitive disabilities should contact the Center for Accommodation and Access as early as possible. It takes approximately 5 days to process a new student, which includes not only review of disability documentation, but also attending an intake meeting with the disability services professional. Scheduling the intake appointment with the Center for Accommodation and Access is the responsibility of the student.
