Accommodations for students
Northwestern provides or arranges reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities on an individualized basis. There can be more than one way to accommodate a situation or activity.
For an accommodation to be considered reasonable, it must meet four criteria:
- Doesn’t compromise essential requirements of a course, program, job, activity, or facility
- Doesn’t cause an undue administrative or financial hardship
- Doesn’t compromise safety for anyone
- Doesn’t fundamentally alter a course or program
