Obtaining ADA Accommodations

In order to obtain ADA Accommodations at Lynn University, students must follow the following procedures:

1. Complete the ADA Accommodations application, which can be found at https://my.lynn.edu/ICS/LifeatLynn/Free-form_Content.jnz or can be picked up in Admissions or the ADA Coordinator’s Office in the Green Center.
2. Return completed ADA Accommodations application to the ADA Coordinator in the Green Center or via email at mroche@lynn.edu.
3. Submit medical documentation that meets the documentation guidelines set forth in the ADA Accommodations application to the ADA Coordinator.
4. Set up an initial meeting with the ADA Coordinator, who will contact student within 10 days of receiving the application, to discuss potential accommodations that are available.
5. The ADA Coordinator and the student will sign the approved accommodations sheet at the close of the initial meeting.
6. Make copies of the sheet to provide to professor of each course. Insert the course instructor in the blank space provided at the top of the document.
7. Provide each professor with a copy of the approved ADA accommodations sheet. Additionally, have the professor sign, date, and place the course number on the signature sheet that will be provided by the ADA Coordinator.
8. Once all professors have signed the signature sheet, the student must return the form to the ADA Coordinator for record of the approved accommodations.

Each semester the student must renew accommodations. A renewal does not require another completed ADA Accommodations application packet, unless there has been changes in the medical diagnosis since the original application. The process upon receiving the approved accommodations sheet will be the same as at the beginning of each school year. The following is the process for renewal:

1. Each semester, including J-term, students must obtain new approved accommodation sheets from the ADA Coordinator.
2. For J-term, Spring semester, and Summer semesters students arrange a pick up time for approved accommodation sheets from the ADA Coordinator, via emailing the ADA Coordinator.
3. Each Fall semester, students must set up a meeting with the ADA Coordinator to discuss the previous year’s accommodations and create a new accommodation sheet for the upcoming year.
