UB SPPS respects and welcomes students of all backgrounds and abilities. Within the scope of adherence to the Technical Standards, our school works with students to responsibly approach any barriers to success. In the event you encounter any barrier(s) to full participation in a course or rotation due to the impact of an ongoing or sudden disability, please contact the Accessibility Resources Office. The access coordinators in the Office of Accessibility Resources can meet with you to discuss the barriers you are experiencing and explain the eligibility process for establishing academic accommodations. You can reach the Office of Accessibility Resources at (716) 645-2608; 60 Capen Hall (North Campus) or 1 Diefendorf Hall (South Campus).

1. Contact Accessibility Resources to arrange an initial meeting. Make your request as early as possible.
2. Accessibility Resources may request documentation of your disability or a history of accommodation to help support your current request.
3. Provide a copy of your accommodation memo to each of your instructors by submitting this form. You will need a new Accommodation Memo each semester.
4. Faculty and staff will set up your accommodations.
