Accommodations
In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) the University offers accommodations to students with learning, physical and/or psychological disabilities. Students with a disability, including non-visible a diagnosis such as a learning disorder, chronic illness, TBI, PTSD, ADHD, or a history of modifications or accommodations in a previous educational environment are encouraged to visit https://hood.accessiblelearning.com/UTTyler and fill out the New Student application. The Student Accessibility and Resources (SAR) office will contact the student when their application has been submitted and an appointment with Cynthia Lowery, Assistant Director Student Services/ADA Coordinator. For more information, including filling out an application for services, please visit the SAR webpage at http://www.uttyler.edu/disabilityservices, the SAR office located in the University Center, # 3150 or call 903.566.7079.
Please note: Students with disabilities must register with the Student Accessibility and Resources office to receive accommodations under ADA(AA) provisions. Students are encouraged to submit application for services 3 weeks prior to need so that eligibility, notification of instructor, possible exam scheduling, and other accommodations can be effectively coordinated. Once approved, exams should be scheduled no less than three (3) days prior to test date.
Students receiving accommodations through the SAR office are required to notify each course coordinator for each session. Accommodations do not automatically transfer between course coordinator or between sessions. Pharmacy courses may have an assessments (iRATs) scheduled on the first day of the course, therefore, students are recommended to start the accommodation process well in advance of the start of the semester or session.
