FAQ



Q: Can my faculty see my residential or dining accommodations?

A: No, even if you check to include a residential or dining accommodation on your letter it will not be visible to your faculty. The letter sent to your faculty will only include classroom and exam accommodations.


Q: What should I do if I do not see one of my approved accommodations listed in my full list of accommodations?

A: Contact a staff member to review your list of approved accommodations.


Q: How do I send a letter about my residential or dining accommodations?

A: At this time there is not an option for you to independently send a letter to dining or residence life regarding your accommodations. To request a letter be sent on your behalf please e-mail access@grinnell.edu and we can generate a letter for either office and provide you a copy.


Q: Should I send all of my academic accommodations to all of my faculty?

A: You have the option to tailor your academic letters for each course by selecting which accommodations from your approved list of accommodations to include. Our recommendation is to include all of your accommodations that you might potentially need/want to use in the course. You will only be eligible to use those accommodations that are included in your letter for that course. 


Q: If I do not send all of my academic accommodations to my faculty but later realize that I need all of my approved accommodations in the course what do I do?

A: If you need to make a change to the letter previously sent to your faculty please contact disability resources at access@grinnell.edu and provide details about which letter requires changes. We can re-activate your ability to issue a letter for the specific course.
