If approved for accommodations, students are required to discuss their official TCU Notification of Accommodation with their instructors. Accommodations are not retroactive and require advance notice to implement. The Office of Student Access and Accommodation is located in The Harrison, Suite 1200. More information on how to apply for accommodations can be found at http://r3x.bagmakerblog.com/access-accommodation/ or by calling Student Access and Accommodation at (817) 257-6567.

- Students are required to provide faculty a letter of accommodation each semester that they are requesting accommodations.
- Accommodations are not retroactive and are only considered in effect once the student has provided a letter of accommodation and spoken with the faculty member regarding the implementation of accommodations for the course.
