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 Formal Appeals

    Students may request a formal review of an accommodation determination to assess whether the decision was made through an individualized, interactive process and is consistent with applicable law and university policy.

    If a student has questions or concerns about our office, available support, implementing accommodations, or working with instructors, they can complete our Student Support Request Form.
