Faculty and Staff Information

The Center for Disability & Access (CDA) recognizes that the role faculty play is at the heart of the University's mission. We rely on you to assist our office in providing reasonable and appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities.

The following links give important information and guidance on your roles and responsibilities connected with our office and eligible students.

The University of Utah is mandated by law (the Americans with Disabilities Act) and by policy to provide reasonable accommodation to all qualified students who request an accommodation.

If a student requests a change or modification in the course requirements based upon a disability, you should refer the student to CDA.  CDA is the designated campus office that is authorized to determine whether or not a student is qualified for accommodations.

A faculty member is not required to provide an accommodation or modification to course requirements without being notified to do so by CDA.  If you have a question about the appropriateness of a prescribed accommodation,  please contact our office to address any concerns and evaluate possible alternatives.
