Accommodations
In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) the University offers accommodations to students with qualifying disabilities. Students with a disability, including non-visible disabilities such as a learning disorder, chronic illness, TBI, PTSD, ADHD, or a history of modifications or accommodations in a previous educational environment, are encouraged to visit https://hood.accessiblelearning.com/UTTyler to fill out the New Student Application and submit supporting documentation. The Student Accessibility and Resources (SAR) office will contact the student after their application and supporting documentation have been reviewed by the SAR Accommodation Review Committee. For more information about the SAR registration process, please visit the SAR webpage at https://www.uttyler.edu/disability-services/, email the SAR office at saroffice@uttyler.edu, or call 903.566.7079.
Please note: Students with disabilities must register with the SAR office to receive accommodations under ADA(AA) provisions. Students are encouraged to submit application for services at least 30 days prior to need so that eligibility determinations, notifications to instructors, possible exam scheduling, and other accommodations can be effectively coordinated. Once exam accommodations are approved, exams should be scheduled no less than four (4) business days prior to test date.
Students receiving accommodations through the SAR office are required to notify each course coordinator/instructor every semester. Accommodations do not automatically transfer between course coordinators/instructors or between semesters. Pharmacy courses may have assessments (iRATs) scheduled on the first day of the course, therefore, students are recommended to start the accommodation process well in advance of the start of the semester or session.
