Students Seeking to Register with Accessible Education

Requesting Support & Amendments

In order to evaluate accommodation and service requests, OAE will need information about how your disability is likely to impact you here at Loyola University New Orleans. Any information/documentation students can readily share during or prior to their first meeting is helpful and can save the need for follow up meetings with OAE. OAE recognizes that barriers exist and can create hardship for students with regard to having and presenting third party disability documentation. Please don't delay submitting the Student Form (page 2) of the Accommodation Request Form out of concern for not having appropriate paperwork. You can also submit it to OAE by:

·       bringing it to the Student Success Center's front desk on the 2nd floor of Monroe Library
·       emailing it to oae@loyno.edu.
·       faxing it to 504-865-3543
·       mailing it to: Office for Accessible Education, 6363 St. Charles Avenue, P.O. Box 40, New Orleans, LA 70118

Student support and amendments are determined on an individual basis through an interactive process that includes input from the student, licensed and credentialed evaluators, OAE staff, and relevant university officials, when necessary, to enable maximal participation in all university functions. All amendments must be made prior to all deadlines for housing, registration, and exams.

To request an amendment, students should follow the process summarized below:

1. Log in to your Single Sign On (SSO) at the top right of the Loyola webpage.

Select "ClockWork for Students."
Select the "Start Here" button.
Complete the requested information.
Upload supporting documents.

*Accommodation requests for Emotional Support Animals require completing an Accommodation Request Form for ESAs (see below) and completing the above process.

(Note: We will gladly attempt to review various types of documentation to help satisfy guideline criteria; a form has been made available as an option for providing updated information or if other types of documentation are not available.)

If determined eligible for adjustments, students must:

For academic adjustments--Identify the specific courses for which implementation will be necessary and notify all relevant instructors of the need for support via the Clockwork Student Portal.
For non-academic adjustments (housing, meal plan modification or exemption, parking, facilities)--Collaborate with an OAE Accessibility Coordinator to properly notify relevant staff or department heads of the specific need.
Continue to engage in an interactive process with OAE and the course instructor or department head to discuss specific implementation and ongoing effectiveness of the adjustment.
