How to request services

If you are an incoming or new transfer student and you have dietary, housing, learning, mental health, or physical/medical accommodation needs, the Office of Academic Success and Accessibility (ASA) would love to work with you in determining and setting up appropriate supports.

Schedule an appointment

Appointments to discuss accommodations will be held in person or virtually on Microsoft Teams.  To schedule an appointment please email ASA@redlands.edu.

Academic accommodations will officially be put in place within the first few weeks of classes during your accommodations appointment.

If you had an IEP or 504 Plan, please provide the following information:

  1. Your most recent IEP or 504 Plan -- required.
  2. The most recent copy of your psychoeducational evaluation -- required (unless you have a letter from your medical or mental health professional (see next section).
  3. A letter from ACT or SAT allowing extended time on their standardized exam -- optional.
  4. If you attended a private or specialized high school, a letter stipulating the academic accommodations offered is requested
  5. Once your documentation is received, you will need to meet with the Associate Director of Accessibility for academic accommodations to officially be put in place. Accommodations cannot be put in place without an accommodations meeting. 
  6. Transfer students – provide a confirmation of accommodations from your previous institution, along with a copy of the most recent psycho-educational evaluation you had in high school, if applicable.

You may also have had accommodations for physical/medical or mental health reasons. If that is the case,  ASA will need a letter from your medical or mental health professional sharing:

  1. Diagnosis/diagnoses.
  2. Medications – if on medication, list medications and possible effect/s on academics.
  3. What academic accommodations are recommended by your medical or mental health professional based on how your diagnosis/es is/are currently impacting your academics?
