Academic Accommodation Resource Guide
This list contains examples of academic accommodations with guidance on implementation. This is not an exhaustive list. Please note:
- Students may initiate their accommodations at any time during the semester but must provide instructors adequate notice (typically one week) that an accommodation is needed.
- Accommodations are not retroactive.
- Instructors are not required to substantially alter course requirements or instructional design as an accommodation. If you believe the accommodation is insufficient or unacceptable within the context of your course, please contact SAS promptly at 515-294-7220 or e-mail accessibility@iastate.edu.
- Students and instructors are encouraged to utilize the accommodation planning tool to record the accommodation agreements made in the initial meeting.

Regarding Instructor Concerns with Provided Lecture Material
Please see the Student Code of Conduct: Recording and/or sale or dissemination (including posting) of instructional content without the express permission of the instructor(s), or an approved accommodation coordinated via Student Accessibility Services.
Course-related presentations and materials are owned by the presenter. Students may take written notes or make other recordings for educational purposes, but specific written permission to sell and/or make publicly available the notes, recordings, or materials must be obtained from the presenter. Failure to secure permission is a violation of these conduct regulations.
