Reporting Statement

Iowa State University’s Student Accessibility Services (SAS) is the office on campus that is responsible for addressing the needs of students with disabilities. In order to receive disability accommodations, students and applicants must submit the required documentation described in SAS’s Applying for Accommodations Procedures.  The grievance process applies and must be followed whenever a student or applicant for admission alleges that the university and/or a university employee has denied or otherwise not provided approved reasonable accommodation(s). 

Students experiencing difficulties with accommodations being denied or not implemented in their courses should contact SAS staff in a timely manner and meet with an accessibility coordinator for assistance. Meetings can be set up by phone, email, or through Navigate.

  • Student Accommodations Grievance

     

    If a student who meets with the Student Accessibility Services office disagrees with an accommodation decision or has concerns involving discrimination on the basis of a disability, they may file a grievance following the accommodations grievance process.
