Understanding Accommodations: A Workshop by the Office of Accessibility and Accommodations

At this workshop, the Office of Accessibility and Accommodations (OAA) staff will provide a comprehensive overview of Pacific's accommodation process. Participants will learn about the importance of accommodations, what accommodations are and are not, faculty responsibilities, how OAA evaluates reasonableness of accommodations, and how to address concerns. The session will walk faculty through the entire process, from initial student requests to practical implementation steps, including guidance on available support resources. The workshop will also cover the legal foundations of accommodation requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504, and Pacific's obligations to our students. Register here.
