Accommodation
Sacred Heart University students who are considering disclosing a disability to the university in order to request accommodations, auxiliary aids or services must complete an online request via our online portal. Appropriate documentation can be uploaded to this form. The requesting student should then meet with the OSA Director or the Assistant Director in order to discuss their request. At this meeting, the OSA staff member will discuss appropriate accommodations, auxiliary aids and services for the college environment with the student. Please note: appropriate accommodations are based on a student’s documented functional limitations in an academic setting.
