Schedule an appointment with the Director of Accessibility Services to discuss your accommodation request. The Director of Accessibility Services may need to speak to your supervisor regarding the essential functions of your position.

The Director of Accessibility Services will respond to the employee in writing about the request for reasonable accommodations within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the supporting documentation and information set forth in this procedure.

1. An employee may request that their accommodation request denial or implementation be reviewed and reconsidered by the AS Office.
2. The appeal should be submitted in writing (see Appeal Form for guidance regarding needed information) to the AS Director, and should be done so as soon as possible after the denial or event serving as the basis for the appeal, in order to ensure a prompt and impartial review into the matter.
3. The AS Director will review the request and any related documentation, and meet with the employee to discuss the appeal.
4. The AS Director will respond to the employee in writing with their decision on the matter within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the request.
5. If the employee is satisfied with the outcome of this process, the appeal will be considered resolved.  

1. An employee who is not satisfied with the outcome of the Informal Process (above) may file a formal appeal. The appeal must be submitted on the Appeal Form to the Chief Diversity Officer (CDO). Again, the appeal should be filed as soon as possible after the decision/event that serves as the basis for the appeal.
2. The CDO will review the appeal, any related documentation, consult with relevant parties, and meet with the employee.
3. The decision by the CDO will be in writing to the employee and delivered within thirty (30) days of the submission of the appeal. The decision of the Chief Diversity Officer is final.
