Accommodations

All academic (also called, "instructional" or "class") accommodations that have been approved by SAS are listed in a student's Faculty Contact Sheet (FCS). Approved students may obtain a digital copy of their most recently-approved FCS from the SAS office via e-mail: access@marymount.edu. Students who need to make changes to their FCS should schedule an appointment SAS staff through Starfish.
SAS Forms that must be completed by faculty can be accessed under SAS Forms.
