Access Services for Students with Disabilities

Access Services for Students with Disabilities recognizes disability as an aspect of diversity that is integral to society and to our campus community. Access staff work with admitted Evergreen students to ensure equal access to academic programs and services. Whether transitioning from high school, community college or another university, it’s important to be aware of the process to request accommodations and/or auxiliary aids due to a disability or temporary health condition.

In accordance with federal and state law, it is the policy of The Evergreen State College that..."no otherwise qualified person with a disability shall, solely on the basis of that disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination by any College program or activity."

Requesting Services for Students with Disabilities

All disability accommodations are determined through an interactive process that requires the engagement of both the student and Access Services staff.

To Request services:

• Complete our Request for Services Form.
• In the application you will upload documentation of your disability.
• Link to guidelines for documentation

Once your application is completed the Director will meet with you to review your information, discuss access needs, barriers and determine reasonable and appropriate accommodations. Requests for accommodations must be made in a timely manner.

• New students are advised to start this process once they have confirmed admission to Evergreen.
• Evergreen students already enrolled should engage with Access Services as soon as possible once they have identified a barrier and/or need.
• Update accommodation requests quartely

Once accommodations are established, they are applied proactively rather than retroactively, so planning ahead is very important. The steps below provide general information about transitioning to college, and also outline the process for requesting and receiving disability accommodations at The Evergreen State College.
