New and Returning Students

Student Accessibility Services is dedicated to providing students with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in university programs, courses and activities through reasonable accommodations and services. Our office is here to support students, staff and faculty with accommodation requests, implementation, guidance and general information.

Accommodate Portal

Student Accessibility Services (SAS) at Clark University uses Accommodate to manage student accommodation requests. This system helps ensure that students with disabilities receive reasonable accommodations and services. Students can access Accommodate to manage accommodations and requests to send out letters of accommodation.

Students New to SAS:Register with Student Accessibility Services

Step One: Submit an Online Application.

To register, first complete and submit an Application for Accommodations. Inadequate and/or incomplete answers may delay the eligibility review process. Please contact SAS if you are having any trouble accessing the form. Email: accessibilityservices@clarku.edu

Phone: 1-508-798-4368

Fax: +1-508-793-8877

Step Two: Submit Documentation

Students requesting reasonable accommodations and/or services must submit documentation of a disabling condition to verify eligibility. Students are required to submit documentation regarding the diagnosis/diagnoses that demonstrates a disability covered under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 as amended (2008).

Please review our Documentation Guidelines for additional information. All documentation is kept confidential.

Additional forms of documentation may include:

• Medical providers may fill out our Disability Verification Form

• A letter from a qualified medical professional

• Psychological evaluation(s)

• Psychoeducational evaluation(s) with standardized test scores

• A physician’s medical records, etc.

Step Three: Schedule an Intake

Once the Application for Accommodations has been submitted online, you will be notified by email to schedule an intake to discuss accommodations, procedures, and services. The intake will typically last about 30 minutes where we will discuss your lived experiences with disability and how they may impact you academically and/or in your residential life.

Step Four: Log In to Accommodate

After the intake, students will receive a Student Registration Notice regarding their accommodation requests and registration status. This letter will also contain steps on how to request your accommodations through Accommodate. Once registered, students log in to Accommodate to submit semester requests to send accommodation letters to instructors each semester. Students must communicate with each instructor to discuss the arrangements for receiving accommodations. In addition, accommodations are not retroactive, and instructors do not have to provide accommodations to students if they have not been informed of the need for accommodations by SAS.
