Student Accessibility Resources (SAR) serves as the University of West Florida's (UWF) administrative arm of the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendment Act (ADAAA) of 2008 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to help ensure that students with disabilities are provided the same access to higher education programs that other students have. The University has designated SAR as the place where documentation regarding a student's disability is on file and where appropriate accommodations are determined. Academic accommodations are provided to remove academic barriers for students, but do not lower the learning standard for the course and do not guarantee student success. Reasonable accommodations vary based on the nature of the student’s documented disability and are determined on a case-by-case basis.
Prior to receiving accommodations and services, students must self-identify as a student in need of accommodations and register with the SAR office by following the steps outlined below:
Step #1: Students requesting services must have applied and be admitted to the University of West Florida.
Step #2: Students will need to verify the need for accommodations (self-identify) by submitting an application and supporting medical documentation.
Step #3: Students will need to complete a registration appointment with a SAR staff member. To schedule an appointment, students should call the SAR office at 850.474.2387.
