How do I request accommodations?

If you are requesting accommodations at Drake University (academic, housing, emotional support animal, dining, or other disability-related accommodations), you must first complete the Disclosure and Request for Disability Accommodations form. This form includes documentation guidelines and a section to upload supporting documentation.

After submitting your form, current students should schedule their intake appointment through the Access and Success service in their Starfish Support Network. A staff member may also contact you if additional information is needed.

During the intake process, you will discuss your needs, supporting documentation, and possible reasonable accommodations.

If approved, accommodations will be shared with the appropriate campus partners (such as instructors, housing, or dining staff), and you are responsible for following up to coordinate implementation.

You may be asked to review or renew accommodations periodically and will receive a Starfish notification when action is needed.
