Apply for Accommodations

Students seeking academic accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act must apply for services with the Center for Accessibility Services (CAS) to determine eligibility.  

For more information, call 540-831-6350 or email us.

Once You Submit an Application for CAS Services

You will receive an email confirming submission. Please notify CAS if you did not receive a confirmation email. Your application will be reviewed by a CAS Access Specialist. Watch your Radford email for instructions to schedule a CAS accommodations interview about a week after your application submission.

Next Steps for Acquiring Accommodations

• During the accommodations interview, you will decide on specific accommodations with an Access Specialist.
• You will receive an email listing the accommodations decided on during the interview process.
• You will receive  instructions to log into your Access CAS account to create and submit a semester request.

Each Semester Students Must Request to Use Their Accommodations

•  Each Semester you will  log into your Access CAS account and submit a semester request.
• After your Access Specialist approves your semester request in Access CAS, you will receive an email that your semester Access Plan is ready. CAS will notify your instructors by email to make them aware that you will contact them to discuss accommodations.
• After meeting and discussing your accommodations, you and your professor need to electronically sign the semester's ACCESS plan.

Accommodations are not in place until BOTH the student and the instructor have met and agreed to the accommodations, and signed the Access Plan.
