Student Accessibility Services provides reasonable accommodations for students.  We balance the legal rights of students and the integrity of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology's robust institutional criterion of excellence in standards and content. We are located in the Student Affairs office in the lower level of the Mussallem Union building.

After being admitted, students must establish their eligibility for accommodations by notifying the Director of Student Accessibility Services and providing sufficient documentation. Students must provide as much documentation as possible about the disability and their limitations. Documentation less than five years old by a psychiatrist, psychologist, medical doctor, licensed clinical social worker or other qualified licensed health provider is acceptable.

The most common accommodation we offer is 50% extended time on timed testing.

Other more specific reasonable accommodations may be based on functional limitations and specialist recommendations that are reasonable in the context and setting. Contact the director regarding housing accommodations and the applicable form set will be provided. Housing accommodation requests should be submitted by June 1st for review and noted on the residence life housing form. 

NOTE: All students new or RETURNING to Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology must stop by the Student Accessibility Services Office to confirm accommodations. This includes all new, transferring, or re-admitted students.
