Center for Accessibility Services

The Center for Accessibility Services, otherwise known as CAS at Radford University, supports students seeking disability related accommodations that would qualify under the Americans with Disabilities Act and its amendment.

The primary goal of this office is to provide students with reasonable accommodations while simultaneously protecting the integrity of the school’s academic services and programs.

It’s important to remember that unlike in K-12 education, in college, it’s the student, not the parent, who must take the lead in registering for disability accommodations.

Accommodations that the student received in high school as described in their IEP or 504 Plan do not immediately carry over to college.

If your student would like to receive accommodations, related to a diagnosed disability, a temporary disability, or possibly undiagnosed disability, they will need to apply for services through One Campus – Access CAS Student.

CAS Registered Students

Each semester students must self-determine which already approved accommodations will be needed for the new semester.  Students will be responsible for making a Semester Request through One Campus – Access CAS Student. If your student finds that their needs have changed, they can request additional or different accommodations.

Remind your student if they are involved in an internship, or clinical experience, accommodations may be available and may be different than in the classroom setting.
