Request an Accommodation
The Equal Opportunity Office (EOO) addresses requests from faculty, staff, and job applicants with disabilities for workplace accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other relevant laws.
Reasonable accommodations are changes made to a job or the workplace to help qualified applicants or employees with disabilities apply for jobs or perform their tasks effectively. Examples include:
- Acquiring or modifying equipment or devices
- Adjusting work schedules
- Removing physical barriers in the work area
