In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), reasonable accommodations are afforded to students at ODU with disabilities based upon documentation received from a qualified professional and the discussion that the student has with the Office of Educational Accessibility professionals. Accommodations are provided which support the student with a disability in the university setting (both online and in-person).
Students who need testing accommodations should present a letter to each of their instructors every semester from the Office of Educational Accessibility identifying their specific course and testing accommodations.
Find OEA's recommended statement that all University faculty use on their course syllabi to inform students of the faculty member's willingness to provide reasonable accommodations.
