The New Student Disability Accommodation Request Form has moved!

Please complete your request at https://slate.okstate.edu/manage/login?realm=&r=/register/New-Student-Accomm-Request.

You will be prompted to login with your OSU email. If you have any questions, please contact us at okc.accessibility@okstate.edu or 405-945-9104.

Instructions

Please complete this form if this is your first time requesting disability accommodations at OSU-Oklahoma City (OSU-OKC).

This form should take approximately 15 to 30 minutes to complete.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the OSU-OKC Student Accessibility Services Office at okc.accessibility@okstate.edu or405-945-9104 and we will be happy to help!

We will reply to your Okstate email address within two (2) business days upon submission of your request with approval status and next steps in the accommodation process, and we'll also email or call you with any questions.

As part of the admissions and enrollment process you will be asked to create and activate an institutional (okstate.edu) email address. Please be aware that your Okstate email address is OSU-OKC's official way of communicating with our students and that we will send all email correspondence to your Okstate email.

Documentation of your disability

Please provide us with documentation of your disability as part of the accommodation process. This documentation must be from someone who is qualified to diagnose or help you manage your disability and should not be from someone who has a personal relationship with you.

All documentation will be stored securely within the OSU-OKC Student Accessibility Services Office.

If you don’t have documentation of your disability available right now, no worries! We’ll be glad to provide you with one semester of accommodations without this documentation to allow you time to obtain it. We’ll just need this documentation before we approve a second semester of accommodations and beyond.

Proper documentation should contain all of the following things:

Your first and last name
Your date of birth or your OSU-OKC Student ID Number
The date the documentation was prepared or written
- Please note that for Learning Disabilities the best practice is to provide documentation that is no older than five (5) years.
The first and last name of the person who prepared the documentation
The specific name of your disability, for example: ADD/ADHD, Learning Disability – Written Expression, Seizure Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, etc.
A description of how this disability affects your daily life, for example:
- Problems concentrating or maintaining focus
- Takes longer time to process information
- Periods of depression or mania
- Extreme fatigue, difficulty performing daily life activities
- Pain in hands when writing
The projected progression or stability of your disability (if not evident by the name of your disability or diagnosis)

Rights and Responsibilities of Students Receiving Disability Accommodations

I am aware that:

Accommodations are not retroactive and are in effect starting from the date on the Disability Accommodation Letter to the end of that listed semester.

It is my responsibility to contact OSU-OKC’s Access & Community Impact Office to request accommodations for each semester they are needed. For example, if you received accommodations for the Fall semester and want accommodations again for Spring, you will need to renew your accommodation request with our team by submitting a Current/Returning Student Disability Accommodation Request after you have enrolled for that semester.

The OSU-OKC Access & Community Impact Office can approve one semester of accommodations without appropriate documentation of my disability on file; however I will need to provide disability documentation before the OSU-OKC Access & Community Impact Office can approve a second semester of accommodations. I will contact the OSU-OKC Access & Community Impact Office if any issues arise that prevent me from obtaining that documentation.

It is my responsibility to contact the OSU-OKC Access & Community Impact Office if I need new accommodation letters due to a class schedule change or instructor change.

I am expected to meet OSU-OKC's essential academic, technical, professional, and behavioral requirements and standards.

If there is a problem receiving approved disability accommodations in my courses, it's a good idea to contact the instructor first, and that I can reach out to the Access & Community Impact Office if talking to the instructor does not resolve the issue.
I can initiate an appeal of any decision regarding my disability accommodations in alignment with the University's established grievance policies outlined in the Disability Services Policies and Procedures document.
