Students
Requirements
All students must upload documentation from a qualified medical professional that includes (1) diagnosis(es), (2) how the diagnosis(es) impacts daily functioning in the university setting and (3) accommodations recommended by the provider. The OAS staff will accept documentation such as a letter from a qualified provider, neuropsychological evaluation results, and a recent Individual Education Program (IEP) or 504 plan. Students’ files are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and the documentation needed may vary.
Getting Started
- When requesting accommodations for the first-time at Bryant University, the student will begin by completing the online application through the Accommodate portal, which can be accessed from the Quick Launch menu on the Bryant portal home page (my.bryant.edu). The student will only complete this application once during their enrollment at Bryant. Please note that students who are accepted into the University for the following semester will not have access to the portal until they commit to Bryant and make their initial deposit.
- A staff person from the Office of Accessibility Services will contact the student to schedule an intake appointment after the Intake Application is submitted. Conversation during intake, combined with relevant documentation, will assist OAS staff to identify and approve the most appropriate accommodations.
- Accommodations are approved for one semester only. The student must request accommodations for each term, including winter or summer sessions. Without the student’s request, the Office of Accommodation Services is unable to notify your new professors. Questions about registration should be directed to accessibilitysvcs@bryant.edu

When to Consider Accommodations
Students may reflect on the following questions as they decide whether to request accommodations:
- Have you been diagnosed with a physical, psychiatric, or neurodevelopmental disability or disorder?
- Did you have an IEP/504 or similar success plan in high school? Were accommodations approved for your use while enrolled at another college or university?
- Does your disability impact daily functioning in the University environment, either chronically or episodically?
