Faculty Information
Welcome to the Faculty page for the Center for Disability & Access!
The CDA is the designated campus office that is authorized to determine whether or not a student is eligible to receive accommodations for a qualified disability. A faculty member is not required to provide an accommodation without being notified to do so by CDA. If a student approaches you asking for an accommodation, but you have not received any notice from the CDA, please refer the student to our office.
If an instructor has a questions about the appropriateness of an approved accommodation, please contact the Accessibility Consultant to address any concerns and evaluate possible alternatives.

To support your students in accessing accommodations, please click the Faculty Portal button. Through the portal, you can view accommodation letters and, if applicable, schedule exams to be proctored by the Center for Disability & Access (CDA). We also encourage you to review the Roles & Responsibilities of Faculty, which outlines important information regarding ADA regulations and Section 504. For detailed instructions on scheduling exams with the CDA, please refer to the Exam Information button.
All instructors are required to include a syllabus statement to ensure students are aware of available resources. You can find the approved language by clicking the Syllabus Statement button. Additionally, our Training and Outreach page offers insight into the services provided by the CDA, including our Faculty Liaison Program. If you’re unsure who to contact when a student needs support, the Faculty Resources section can help guide you.
