St. Kate’s values diversity of all kinds and considers disability another aspect of diversity. It’s our goal to address barriers to full participation in the academic and co-curricular experience—online and on campus.

Student Accessibility and Accommodations supports students with disabilities, as defined under the , with reasonable accommodations or resources for academics, clinical/fieldwork settings, campus, housing and dining. To discuss accommodations or accessibility at St. Kate's, please contact our office. 

Our staff have experience working with individuals impacted by many conditions, such as learning disabilities, physical disabilities, chronic and temporary medical conditions, ADD/ADHD, traumatic brain injury, psychiatric conditions, Autism spectrum disorders, hearing loss/Deafness and vision-based disabilities, etc.

How to Access Services

The first step to working with Student Accessibility and Accommodations is to contact our office. It is the student's responsibility to initiate contact.

Housing, Dining and Physical Accessibility  

Visit our Student Resources page for additional information and guidance

Academic Accommodations  

To determine eligibility for academic accommodations, the student needs to meet (virtually or in person) with one of our Access Consultants to participate in an interactive process. Students may use the "Meet with an Access Consultant" scheduling links on this website or contact us to coordinate. In this meeting, we will discuss the student's diagnosis(es) and accessibility barriers or concerns, including any physical accessibility needs. Together, we will identify appropriate accommodations and/or resources.   

All students are welcome to discuss their academic concerns with our staff.

Disability Verification

Related disability information/verification may be requested to determine accommodation eligibility. For academic accommodations, your past experiences, records of past accommodations or services (i.e. IEP, 504 Plan, Evaluations), healthcare/medical provider letters or reports, or diagnosis documentation may all be considered. The below forms may be used if needed.          

Once confirmed, the student will receive an academic accommodation Eligibility Letter from our office, to distribute to their St. Kate's faculty members. It is the student's responsibility to deliver these in order to use the accommodations. We also encourage students to communicate directly or discuss their eligible accommodations and implementation with their faculty. 

If you are also registered for courses at another college/university, please contact their accommodations office for those courses.

Please reach out to our office any time with accessibility or accommodation questions, concerns, or for problem-solving support.

Eligible accommodations and resources are individualized and determined on a case-by-case basis.
