GW provides reasonable and appropriate academic accommodations to students with disabilities. Reasonable accommodations are adjustments to policy, practice, and programs that provide equal access to GW's academic programs. Once affiliated with DSS, students are paired with an Accessibility Associate who will engage in an interactive process to determine disability-related needs while studying at GW. DSS works with each student to ensure equitable access to their academic program while maintaining program standards and requirements.
Registration Process
Start your journey with DSS by submitting an application and meeting with an Accessibility Associate to discuss your accommodations.
Additional Accommodations
If you're already registered with GW DSS and need to request additional or extended accommodations, follow our step-by-step guide to submit new documentation and make your request.
Disability Documentation
Submit the necessary documentation to support your accommodation request. Visit our guidelines page to learn more about acceptable forms of documentation and how to submit them.
Letters to Professors
Once registered with DSS, request your "Letters to Professors" so that you can notify instructors of your academic accommodations each semester.
