Initial Accommodations Request Form

* indicates a required field

Accommodations Request

This request form is meant for students requesting accommodations for the first time at Whitman College.  You can submit this application only once, but you may request additional accommodations later via your Accommodate Portal. Provide enough detail in your initial application for a clear understanding of your condition’s impact.

This form cannot be saved, so before starting, ensure you are ready to complete it. 

After we receive your request and documentation, Disability Support Services (DSS) will send an auto-generated email requesting you to schedule an Intake Meeting. No accommodations can be approved prior to this Intake Meeting so please check your email. This meeting is part of the required interactive process to discuss your needs. If you'd like to meet with a DSS specialist prior to you acquiring full documentation, indicate this in your application, and we will contact you.

Documentation information and links are provided on our website and as a reminder,  will be included in an auto-generated application receipt email. 

If you don’t receive an email to schedule an intake meeting within ten (10) business days, or if you have any questions, email dss@whitman.edu.
