A letter of accommodation (LOA) is a plan for academic accommodations. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 protect students from discrimination based on disability and assure students the right to reasonable accommodations. Once the student has formally requested accommodations specific to their needs and provided Access Services with information about the disability, the letter of accommodation is written. Access Services activates the student profile via the MyAccess portal and notifies the student of their rights and responsibilities for accommodation services. Students must request accommodations each quarter and for each class via the MyAccess portal.
