SCU Student Resources

Students seeking reasonable accommodations or support services while enrolled in a SCU Accelerated Sciences Course can do so through the Student Services Office (SSO) by following the two steps outlined below. We encourage you to register with the SSO as early as possible to allow sufficient time for the approval and notification process.

Important Notes about Accommodations

• We strive to review completed accommodations applications within 1 week of receipt. Requests made on short notice will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
• A request for accommodations does not guarantee approval. It does guarantee an interactive process to reach a decision on the request and a full review of the request and the student’s file.
• Accommodations cannot fundamentally alter a student’s program or impose an undue burden. An accommodation provided at a previous institution may not be appropriate for your program at SCUHS.
• Accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis and are dependent on a student’s current functional limitations.
• Accommodations are not retroactive. They are active from the time they are approved.
• Students are responsible for providing reasonable notice of intent to use an accommodation. For example, students receiving extra time on exams should notify their instructor 1 week in advance of an exam.

Step 1: Review and complete the following forms:

• Documentation Requirements and Verification Form (to be completed by a treating clinician). Please review this for requirements on appropriate supporting documentation. Incomplete letters and forms will not be accepted

• Request for Accommodations (completed by student)
• Accommodation Agreement (completed by student)
• Documentation Guidelines

Step 2: Submit your complete request and schedule an appointment with the SSO.

• Email your completed forms and supporting documentation to StudentServices@scuhs.edu. A complete request includes the Document Requirements and Verification Form completed by a qualified examiner, and a Request for Accommodations form and Accommodation Agreement completed by you.
• To schedule an appointment, please send an email to StudentServices@scuhs.edu.
