Accessibility Services

Removing Barriers to Support Your Success!

The Office of Accessibility Services advocates for nondiscrimination, equal access and equal opportunity for students with disabilities. We work collaboratively with students, faculty and staff to ensure that reasonable accommodations are provided so every student has the opportunity to succeed.

Whether you are requesting accommodations for a disability or pregnancy-related needs, our team is here to guide you through the process with respect, confidentiality and care.

Requesting Accommodations

Step 1: Complete an Accommodation Request Form
Students requesting accommodations for disability and/or pregnancy-related needs must complete an Accommodation Request Form.

After submitting the form, you will be prompted to upload any supporting documentation, which may include:

All documentation is reviewed confidentially.

Step 2: Meet With Accessibility Services
After your request form is submitted, check your Clark State email for instructions on scheduling your Accommodation Planning Meeting.

Meetings may be scheduled in-person at the Springfield main campus, in-person at Beavercreek or virtually via Zoom.

During this confidential meeting, we will discuss your needs, review documentation and determine reasonable accommodations. If approved, the Office of Accessibility Services will create an individualized accommodation plan to support your coursework and academic success.

A FERPA form will be required if you would like anyone outside of the Office of Student Support to attend your meeting.

Step 3: After Your Plan is Approved
Once your accommodation plan is complete:

  • You will receive official accommodation letters each semester.
  • Send your semester accommodation letters to your instructors: accommodations can only be implemented once instructors receive your letter.

Our team is available if you need assistance communicating with instructors or adjusting your accommodations.

Accommodation Appeals

If you request an accommodation and your request is denied, you have the right to appeal that decision. Students who wish to file an appeal should carefully review the Appeal Process before submitting the official appeal form. Appeals are reviewed in accordance with institutional policy to ensure fairness and consistency.
