Educational Access Services
For Students with Disabilities
(A Division of Advising & Academic Services)
Mission:
Educational Access Services (EAS) recognizes disability as an aspect of diversity and an integral part of society. We collaborate with students, faculty, staff, and community members to create an accessible college community. EAS provides academic accommodations and promotes universal design principles, enabling students with disabilities the opportunity to fully participate in all aspects of the educational environment as successful and independent learners.
We're moving again!
Summer 2008: Houston Hall, Room 109
Fall 2008: Houston Hall, Room 100
Remember:
Students must initiate a request for accommodations by contacting
the EAS office prior to the start of classes. A new request must
be made each semester.
Accommodations for
students with documented disabilities may include:
How to Obtain Accommodations:
If you have a documented disability and want to request accommodations,
please:
- Contact the Coordinator of Educational Access Services for
more information.
- Make an appointment with the Coordinator to determine what
accommodations are right for you. Documentation of the disability
will be needed at this time.
- After you have enrolled in your classes make an appointment
with the Coordinator, to complete the "Faculty Accommodation
Memos." This must be done for each semester in which you
are requesting accommodations.
- Any difficulty in receiving accommodations are to be reported
immediately to the Coordinator of Educational Access Services.
The student must initiate
the request for the accommodations and provide documentation of
the disability.
Online students: YES, you can receive accommodations!
Online students with documented disabilities may be eligible for extra time on tests, books in alternate formats, and other accommodations. Contact Nancy Conklin at 970-248-1826 or e-mail naconkli@mesastate.edu to discuss.
