STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITIES

Applicants who have been accepted for admission, or current students who would like Fordham University to accommodate a disability, are encouraged to contact the Office of Disability Services at (718) 817-0655 or (212) 636-6282 as soon as possible. This notification should be done early, because in some cases, the University will need sufficient time to evaluate documentation and arrange for the accommodation. Late requests may not be able to be reasonably accommodated in time for the beginning of the semester. It is the student's responsibility to identify the disability, to explain how the accommodation requested relates to the disability, and to provide acceptable verification of both the claimed disability and the effectiveness of the requested accommodation. Once verification is established, appropriate steps will be taken in order to accommodate the student's needs in the most effective and efficient ways possible. The student is responsible for arranging certain personal services such as attendant care, mobility training, and transportation.
