Accommodations for Students with Disabilities
Please read the following information carefully and connect with Access and Disability Services if you need academic, housing, and/or dining accommodations.
Reasonable accommodations give students equal access to all campus programs, events, and services. ADS works collaboratively with each student applying for accommodations to determine eligibility, and to identify the accommodations that are necessary and helpful to the student without altering the fundamental nature of the academic program. Please read this information thoroughly and contact Sherrie Borowsky at hc-ads@haverford.edu or sborowsky@haverford.edu with any questions.
Housing Accommodations
If you believe you will need housing accommodations (including air conditioning and/or carpet-free) for the 2018-2019 academic year, please fill out a Housing Accommodation Request Form and submit supporting documentation to ADS by the June 20, 2018 deadline. This form, documentation guidelines and instructions for their submission and other information can be found on the Housing Accommodations page of the ADS website.
If you are requesting housing accommodations due to an allergy or asthma condition you MUST print out and have your health care professional fill out the Verification of Disability Form for Housing Accommodation for Asthma and Allergy Conditions. For these conditions, a physical letter from your physician or healthcare provider is not accepted.
Academic and Other Accommodations
If you received accommodations in high school or other support services and want to receive accommodations in college then you will need to fill out the Voluntary Disability Disclosure and Accommodations Request Form as well as provide documentation.
If you require dining accommodations or any other accommodations related to a disability or medical condition, please fill the Voluntary Disability Disclosure and Accommodations Request Form as well as provide documentation.
The Documentation Guidelines and more information about receiving accommodations at Haverford can be found on the ADS website.
Forms and documentation should be submitted as soon as possible.

Academic/Other Accommodations Deadline: Although accommodations can be requested at any time, to ensure that accommodations are in place prior to the start of the Fall semester please submit the Voluntary Disability Disclosure and Accommodations Request Form and documentation by August 1, 2018.
