Requesting Accommodations through Student Accessibility Services
Students may self-identify or disclose their disability at any point in their academic journey. All student requests for accommodations must be routed through our process. If you are a faculty, staff, or guest on campus and need to request accommodations, please contact helpdesk-hr@sunypoly.edu.
Please follow the steps outlined below:
STEP 1: Complete the Request for Accommodations Form
The Request for Accommodation Form is interactive and will expand based on answers. This form can be used for academic, dining, or housing.
Housing requests often require additional information from a practitioner. Plan to share The Accommodated Housing Application: Provider Form with your provider for completion if you are requesting housing accommodations or a support animal.
Provide as much detailed information as possible. The more information you share, the better we will be able to support you.
You will receive a confirmation email with action items. It is important you provide an email you check often and review next steps to complete the process.
STEP 2: Submit supporting information (if available)
- Any information or documentation you can readily share can be uploaded with the Request for Accommodations Form. Otherwise, it can be sent to sas@sunypoly.edu or faxed to 315-792-7517 at a later date.
STEP 3: Meet with a member of SAS:
- This intake meeting is a critical part of the interactive process and required to put accommodations in place
- Review and understand the Differences Between High School and College.
- We may ask you to provide additional information if your Request for Accommodations Form is not detailed or if you have not provided supporting documentation
STEP 4: If an accommodation plan is created, we will inform you of the next steps in using your accommodations.
Note:
You can register with SAS even if you do not need or want to use an accommodation plan at this time. Please reach out or review our Accommodations and Services to understand how our office can support you.
Not all accommodations will require you to meet with us.
Accommodations cannot be arranged retroactively (after the fact). Students are encouraged to disclose early
