Students with a verified disability are eligible to receive accommodations once they have submitted medical documentation that establishes the nature of a disability and/or health condition and describes its impact on the student in the educational environment. If you do not have access to documentation or it is pending, accommodations may be granted on a case-by-case basis and provided provisionally while documentation is pending. Please contact DAS as outlined below. 

The Oakland campus offers a testing center that includes proctoring services by appointment for students who have registered with DAS. Registered DAS students can reserve a room through the Accommodate student portal. Room reservations for the Testing Center must be made two full business days in advance.

Students must work with their professors regarding exam accommodations and scheduling to ensure all academic requirements are met.

The Testing Center offers proctoring services for Northeastern course exams only.

Service animals are permitted in campus buildings if they meet the ADA definition of any animal individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. This includes guiding individuals with impaired vision, alerting hearing-impaired individuals to intruders or sounds, providing minimal protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, or retrieving dropped items.

Emotional support animals are not allowed in academic buildings or common spaces such as the library, labs, or dining facilities. Emotional support animals are allowed in student residence hall or apartment rooms with prior registration and approval.

1. Complete the online Student Disclosure Form on the Accommodate student portal.
2. Review the documentation guidelines to determine what to upload with your request. This may include verification of prior accommodations and/or a disability-specific disclosure form completed by a clinician. If you have questions about the documentation, email [email protected].
3. Once your student disclosure form has been received, a disability specialist will reach out to schedule an intake meeting to learn more about your needs. Following this intake meeting, your request will be reviewed by the documentation review committee. The review process may take 2-3 weeks or longer to complete. If approved for accommodations, you will receive an official accommodation letter.

Please note that you will need to re-request your accommodations through the Accommodate student portal each semester.

If your accommodations need to be updated, please contact DAS and submit updated documentation.
