Accessing disability-related accommodations with Student Access Center
Submitted by Jason Maseberg-Tomlinson
The Student Access Center supports students with disabilities, permanent or temporary, by arranging academic and housing accommodations. Eleven percent of college students nationwide identify as having a disability, and students with disabilities are enrolled in all K-State colleges and schools at all academic levels.
The center is committed to providing equal access to all campus programs and services by collaborating with students and faculty to implement accommodations that meet the needs of students. Students can register with the Student Access Center to begin the accommodation process. After registering, an access advisor will reach out to schedule a meeting. Documentation from health care providers can be submitted at any time in the registration process.
The center maintains the privacy of student information: a student's diagnosis is not shared with others unless the student chooses to disclose it. Faculty are notified of the approved accommodations via email. There is no record of your history with the office in KSIS, in SSC-Navigate or on your transcript.
If you would like to speak with an access advisor or learn more about the Student Access Center, visit 202 Holton Hall, call 785-532-6441 or email accesscenter@k-state.edu.
