Accommodations Request

This request form is intended for students seeking accommodations for the first time at Whitman College. You may submit this application only once, though you can request additional accommodations later through your Accommodate Portal. Please provide enough detail in your initial application to give a clear understanding of how your condition impacts you.

This form cannot be saved mid-progress, so be sure you are ready to complete it before starting.

Once we receive your request and documentation, Disability Access Services (DAS) will send you an auto-generated email prompting you to schedule an Intake Meeting. No accommodations can be approved prior to this meeting, so please check your email regularly. The Intake Meeting is a required part of the interactive process to discuss your needs. If you would like to meet with a DAS specialist before you have full documentation, you may indicate this in your application, and we will reach out.

Documentation guidelines and links are available on our website and will also be included in your auto-generated application receipt email.

If you do not receive an email to schedule your Intake Meeting within ten (10) business days, or if you have any questions, please contact us at das@whitman.edu
