Prospective Students

How to Request Accommodations:

To begin the process, complete the Disclosure and Request for Disability Accommodations form. This form includes documentation guidelines and a section to upload supporting documentation. Your submission will be reviewed by an Access and Success team member.

New first-year and transfer students are encouraged to connect with the Office of Access and Success during the summer prior to starting at Drake (June or July). Intake appointments may be completed in person or virtually and can be scheduled during June orientation.

During the intake process, you will discuss:

• Your needs and experiences
• Supporting documentation
• Possible reasonable accommodations
• How accommodations may be implemented once you begin classes

Once accommodations are determined, an accommodation notification will be sent to the appropriate faculty and campus partners. Students are responsible for following up to discuss implementation.

Accommodations are reviewed each semester and are not automatically renewed. Students will receive a Starfish notification with instructions to renew or update accommodations as needed.

Scholarship opportunities for students with disabilities are available through the Joseph H. Morris Scholarship.
