    Step 1: Complete the Student Accommodation Request Form

    IMPORTANT: Please note that you should not delay meeting with us due to documentation concerns. Our first priority is meeting with you. Our assistant director will discuss appropriate documentation during your Welcome Meeting.

    Complete the Student Accommodation Request Form to begin the process. New students must additionally request their medical provider, physician, or therapist to complete the Disability Impairment Assessment Form.

    Please review our Helpful Documentation Guidelines for examples of types of documentation that is accepted. Documentation can be uploaded to the Student Accommodation Request form, submitted via fax at 785.670.1056 or emailed directly to our office at accommodations@washburn.edu

    Step 2: Schedule a Welcome Meeting

    After submitting your Student Accommodation Request form and medical documentation, you will receive an email to schedule a welcome meeting with our assistant director.

    New students are required to take the Accuplacer test covering math and reading comprehension. Please see the Accommodations tab for more information.

    IMPORTANT: Please note emails from Student Accommodation Office will only be sent to your Washburn email. Monitor your account for more information.

    Step 3: Welcome Meeting

    During this meeting the assistant director will talk with you about disability related barriers you may be experiencing, any history of accommodations, will explore reasonable accommodations, and discuss next steps. The assistant director may request additional documentation if needed if not already received for the welcome meeting.

    Welcome Meetings can be in person, virtually via Zoom, or phone. Please indicate which type you would prefer when scheduling.
