Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University recognizes its responsibility under the mandates of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, to ensure equal access to its programs and services for students with a documented disability. To assure non-discrimination, the university is prepared to make reasonable accommodations to promote students' effective participation in their academic activities.

The guiding principles of Student Accessibility Services is to provide leadership and facilitate equal access to institutional opportunities for students who have documented disabilities. In achieving this, Student Accessibility Services collaborates with students through a proactive, interactive process to cultivate a universally designed environment and facilitates the removal of existing barriers for the full inclusion of people with disabilities.

Disabilities may include (but are not limited to):

• Specific learning disorders (SLD)
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
• Chronic health disabilities
• Communication disorders

We request that you submit documentation of the disability and the effects the disability has on academics or a major life activity. After careful review of the disability, any treatment plan or rationale for accommodations from a physician or treating therapist, we want to hear from you! A team member will schedule an intake to review accommodations that will best support you during your enrollment at Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University.

An example of a few of the services and accommodations provided through our office include (but are not limited to):

• Interactive intakes
• Access to assistive technology devices and software
• Collaboration with the Office of Housing and Residence Life for the provision of housing accommodations
• Distraction-reduced testing center
• Time extensions on exams
• Print matter in alternate format
• Note-taking

Students who think they may have a disability, but who have never been evaluated, are encouraged to contact the SAS office for information on how to proceed. Diagnostic testing is not provided by the University, but a list of area specialists can be provided. Costs associated with evaluative testing are the responsibility of the student. Students needing temporary accommodations due to an injury or short-term illness should contact SAS as soon as possible to schedule a meeting.
