Initial Academic Accommodation Request

  • Hobart and William Smith (HWS) students can request disability-related academic accommodations at any time. There are no deadlines. 
  • However, we recommend requesting as soon as a need is identified as accommodations cannot be applied to past academic work. 
  • After submission, students will receive email communication from Disability Services to schedule an initial meeting for co-creating an accommodation plan. 
  • If they have any questions, students can contact Disability Services at ctl@hws.edu
