Equal Access to Education
At Florida Polytechnic University, we’re committed to creating a supportive environment where all students have equal access to education. Through the Office of Disability Services (ODS), we partner with students to provide reasonable accommodations that promote academic achievement and full participation in university life.
Accommodations are tailored to each student and determined through an individualized process, based on the nature of the disability, documentation of functional limitations, and compliance with federal laws including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA), and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
Register with the Office of Disability Services (ODS)
To request accommodations, students must complete an ODS Application. The process includes:
- Submitting medical documentation from a licensed professional describing your condition, its functional impact in academic settings, and any recommended accommodations.
- Uploading documentation through the secure online application portal (please do not email documentation).
- Participating in an initial individualized assessment, which includes a one-on-one interview to learn more about your experience and determine reasonable accommodations.
What Are Reasonable Accommodations?
Reasonable accommodations are changes to the academic environment that allow qualified students with disabilities to access programs, services, and activities on equal terms.
Accommodations do not:
- Lower academic standards
- Alter essential elements of a course or program
Instead, they remove or reduce barriers, helping level the playing field for all students.

Testing Center
Students with disability accommodations have access to the Testing Center. Students with accommodations may schedule their upcoming exam. Testing Center hours are by appointment only.
