The Office of Accessibility facilitates effective, reasonable classroom and campus life accommodations for all students on campus who disclose a disability, meet the eligibility criteria, and request accommodations. In order to request an accommodation through the Office of Accessibility, students must log into my.fairfield using their Net ID. Once logged onto my.fairfield, students can access the "Accessibility & Accommodations" task icon to complete the online process of requesting accommodations and submitting supporting documentation. Incoming first year students are able to start the accommodation request process after May 1st.

ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ University encourages all faculty and staff to read all communications from the Office of Accessibility and to comply with all requested accommodations as written. If the request for accessibility accommodations is unclear, appears to fundamentally alter the requirements of the course, or appears to be unreasonable, faculty/staff are expected to contact the Office of Accessibility immediately. If a student requests accommodations and the faculty/staff member has not been notified of the student's need for accommodations by the Office of Accessibility, the faculty/staff member should refer the student to the Office of Accessibility.

The Office of Accessibility (“OOA”) is committed to providing accommodations to students with disabilities and temporary impairments to ensure that the student is provided with equal access to their academic and campus life activities. All accommodations requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and through an interactive process with each student.

ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ University recognizes the importance of Service Animals as defined by the American with Disability Amendments Act (ADAA) and the broader category of Assistance Animals under the Fair Housing Act. The University is committed to allowing individuals with disabilities the use of Service Animals on campus to facilitate the individual’s full participation and equal access to the University’s programs and activities.
