After we have received your accommodation request and documentation, SAS will set up a time to speak with you via a virtual meeting or in person. We want to get to know you, talk to you about how your disability affects you, discuss your needs, answer any questions, and review your documentation. We will work together to determine what is appropriate for you in order to gain an equitable and accessible experience at Jefferson, and we will review the next steps in the process. If you have questions, please contact TJU_EF_AccessibilityServices@jefferson.edu via your University email.
