Review information about the process for seeking a reasonable employee accommodation

Our office facilitates reasonable accommodation needs for employees with disabilities. If you are interested in pursuing an accommodation/ adjustment, we will ask you to complete some brief registration forms.

Please note, our office does not handle academic accommodations for students with disabilities. If you are a student requiring assistance with making an academic accommodation request, please visit Student Access Services.

If you would like to self identity please go to the KU HR website then go to Self Service-->Personal Information-->Disability
