Accessibility Resources ensures that students with qualifying disabilities receive reasonable academic accommodations in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 and other applicable federal and state laws and regulations.

Registering for Academic Accommodations

If you're a current UC student, request accommodations by filling out the New Student Registration Form in UC Accommodate. Sign in with your UC email and password, submit the form and check your email for instructions on meeting with your access coordinator.

Students starting at UC in fall 2026 can register by completing the Accommodation External Request Form. Use your UC email (@mail.uc.edu) and eight-digit M number (M12345678). After submission, check your UC email for instructions on meeting with your access coordinator.

Documentation

A diagnosed disability is required for accommodations, but documentation is not needed to start registration. However, if available, it can help ensure full consideration of your needs.

Documentation may be requested if it helps identify barriers, find solutions or clarify the connection between your disability and the academic environment.

Accepted documentation includes IEPs, 504 Plans, psychological evaluations, medical records, letters from medical professionals or a Medical Professional Disability Verification Form.

You can submit documentation online during registration.

Launched in July 2024, UC Accommodate simplifies the process of managing academic accommodations for students and faculty.
