Here's a reminder of how to set up your Access Plan through CLIQ to set up your accommodations online.

If you have been granted academic accommodations, but are not currently using them, it’s not too late to do so (provided that there’s adequate time to set up what’s necessary). Email us if you have any questions.

If you are seeking any additional accommodations, please follow our online instructions to your "Disability Disclosure and Accommodation Request" form, add any additional information or requests, and email us to let us know that you have.

If you are a student with a severe and/or chronic medical condition which may have an impact on your academic functioning (such as note-taking, sitting for sustained periods of time, or possibly class attendance), you should follow the procedures for Disclosing and Documenting a Disability. Even if you are not requesting any academic accommodations, completion of this process will serve as your disclosure of your condition, in the event that any complications arise down the road.

When you complete our online disclosure form, you will see that it contains an option to request a “Medical condition notification” for your professors. If you so choose, you can convey what you’d like your professors to know about your condition, including how it might impact you in class. ADS will collaborate with you as to what might be conveyed, but ultimately you would opt to send that information to your professors or not.

Once we have the necessary documentation, you can anticipate that it may require 6 weeks for ADS to process your request, review your documentation and stated needs, meet to discuss your potential accommodations, and ultimately determine your eligibility for accommodations. For this reason, we encourage students to start this process as early as possible. To have accommodations in place by the start of the next semester, requests and documentation should be submitted as follows:

• For the Fall Semester: by the end of June
• For the Spring Semester: by the end of November
• For the Summer Semester: by the end of April
• For mid-semester requests: as soon as possible

If you have any disability or accommodation-related grievances if you would like to appeal an accommodation determination, or if you feel you have been discriminated against on the basis of a disability, you have several options:

1. Email the ADS Dean and Executive Director Marni Jones at jonesmar@dickinson.edu, CCing access@dickinson.edu, and explain what happened or your concern (or else request a meeting to do so). Any information that you share will be kept strictly confidential. 
2. If you'd like to report bias on the basis of a disability, you can file a Bias Incident Report by going to . 
3. If neither of the above is preferable to you, follow the steps outlined in this Disability-Related Complaints Policy, which provides information on the process for both informal and formal complaints, grievances, or appeals.
