Office of Equal Opportunity, Diversity & Outreach
UMass Dartmouth provides equal employment opportunities to qualified disabled individuals. A "qualified" disabled person is one who can perform the essential functions of the job with or without a reasonable accommodation. "Reasonable accommodation" is defined as an accommodation that does not pose undue hardship on the University. "Undue hardship" is a practice, procedure, or financial cost which unreasonably interferes with business operations at the University.
In accordance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), UMass Dartmouth defines a disabled individual as "any person who has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more of such person's major life activities, has a record of such impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment." These terms are defined as follows.
To request a reasonable accommodation at UMass Dartmouth, complete this form and hit "Submit Form". Your request will be e-mailed directly to the Office of Equal Opportunity, Diversity & Outreach. You will need to submit your physician's or other appropriate health care provider's letter verifying your disability to our office separately. It should also explain the need for accommodation based on your responsibilities and the expected duration of time of the accommodation. As an alternative, you may print out and return the print form (see attached!).
Fields marked with * are required.
Please submit separately a physician's (or other appropriate health care provider) letter verifying your disability, explaining in detail the recommended accommodation and how the recommended accommodation is necessary based on your disability. This documentation should be typed or printed on letterhead, dated, signed and legible with the name, title and professional credentials of the evaluator or medical provider.
The ADA Coordinator will review your request, and you will be contacted to discuss your requested accommodation.
The above information is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge and belief. This information will be maintained confidentially to the extent practicable under the circumstances.
