Steps: Set Up Student Disability Accommodations

You can set up disability types at the tenant level. You can also set up the special services, including accommodations, to support students with disabilities in your institution.
After setting up the disabilities and services, you or the student can request special services or accommodations.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Student Disabilities for Accommodations
    task.
    Add rows with the names and codes for the disabilities you want to support in your tenant. For example: Blindness, Deafness.
    Check the complete list of disabilities covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
    Security:
    Set Up: Contact Info, IDs, and Personal Data
    domain in the Contact Information functional area.
  2. Access the
    Maintain Student Accommodations
    task.
    Search for your institution and enter accommodation types that your institution supports.
    Enter a name and code for the accommodations you want to support. Naming examples:
