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.

STEP 3: Meet with a member of SAS:

• 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: Finalize a plan

• If an accommodation plan is created, we will inform you of the next steps in using your accommodations. 
• 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
