Support for Faculty and Staff with Disabilities

The HR-Benefits office works with eligible employees to identify the most appropriate accommodations in a given situation. Accommodations are made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the type and severity of the employee’s disability and the employee’s job requirements. To receive an accommodation in the workplace, the faculty/staff member must first self-identify as having a disability. Additional information can be found on the HR-ADA site.
