What should students do if they have a special accommodation need?

The appropriate action for students with special accommodation needs is to contact the disability services office referenced on the platform. This is because the disability services office is specifically designed to assist students in navigating their rights and accessing necessary accommodations. These offices have the expertise to evaluate individual needs, provide the required support, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This option directly connects students to professionals who are equipped to help them with their specific circumstances, ensuring they receive tailored assistance.

Reaching out to fellow students or sending an email to the university president would not provide the specialized support required for those needing accommodations, as fellow students may not have the knowledge or authority to assist in a meaningful way, and the university president is generally not involved in individual student accommodation issues. Visiting the campus library, while beneficial for research and study, does not address the specific needs related to accommodations for students.
