Princeton University is committed to providing students with disabilities equal access to its educational opportunities and programs. Princeton’s Policy on Disability and Accessibility is implemented in the context of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 as amended, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability. The term “disability” may include learning, physical, sensory, psychological, medical, and certain temporary disabilities. The University provides students with reasonable accommodations in accordance with the ADA/Section 504 and applicable state law. Students with disabilities may request academic accommodations; housing and dining accommodations; modifications to University policies, rules, and regulations; environmental adjustments such as the removal of architectural, communication, or transportation barriers; and auxiliary aids and services.
For information on services and requirements, visit the ODS website at http://ods.princeton.edu/. ODS carefully considers the documentation and recommendations provided by students’ treatment providers and assesses them within the context of Princeton University. ODS cannot approve accommodations that would fundamentally alter the nature of the University’s education opportunities and programs or that would impose an undue burden on the University.
Please note if you are already registered with the Office of Disability Services, you must make a temporary accommodation request in Accommodate through the Supplemental Accommodation Request.
All accommodation requests must be supported by appropriate documentation completed by a qualified professional.
For documentation requirements, please contact ODS or visit: https://ods.princeton.edu/student-services/documentation-requirements
Accommodation requests cannot be considered until appropriate documentation is received by ODS.
I give permission for the Office of Disability Services staff and/or University professionals assisting ODS to speak with or request information from the treating professional who provided or will provide documentation (if not attached) to support my accommodation request(s) if needed to make an accommodation decision. I understand that this authorization is voluntary
I understand the Office of Disability Services is not a “confidential resource” (as defined in the University’s Sexual Misconduct Policy) and may be required to report to appropriate University personnel situations in which a student expresses intent to harm self or others, and where a student discloses sexual harassment, assault or related violence.
I understand that my accommodation request(s) cannot be considered until appropriate documentation is submitted. I understand Princeton’s use of the information on this form as stated above. If I responded affirmatively above, I am giving permission for my treating professional to be contacted, if necessary, to determine accommodation eligibility. I understand that ODS is not a confidential resource.
By clicking submit, I acknowledge that I am the individual stated in the application and the information provided is true, accurate and complete.
