Initiate the Reasonable Accommodation Process
- Fill out the Reasonable Accommodation Intake form. The questionnaire has been updated with specific questions to assist the University with determining if your request will be processed as an accommodation under the ADA.
- The ADA Case Manager will receive a copy of the questionnaire and make contact with you if medical information and/or further documentation is needed by the University from your Health Care Provider.
- Based upon the information provided, the ADA Case Manager will determine if you:
- Have a disability as defined by ADA and in need of a reasonable accommodation; or
- Do not have a disability as defined by ADA and in need of a reasonable accommodation.
- Your supervisor will also be notified of your specific request for accommodation. Reasonable Accommodations will go to Appointing Authority for approval.
- If an agreement with your supervisor or Appointing Authority regarding your request is not reached, Human Resources may at our discretion facilitate, schedule and attend a meeting with them and you to clarify your request and/or explore potential alternatives to the requested accommodation.
- You will be notified in writing once a final decision is made regarding your accommodation.
- If an accommodation has been approved, the arrangement may be periodically assessed for effectiveness. Any additional requests for changes or modifications to the most recently approved arrangement can be made by employees to the Human Resources ADA contact.
- If the accommodation is not granted, or if you are not satisfied with the accommodation that is granted, then you can make a request in writing for an additional review by the ADA Coordinator within 10 calendar days, by emailing adacoordinator@uwyo.edu, excluding school holidays, of the determination of accommodations. If you have additional documentation to help with the review, submit that documentation at the same time you are submitting your additional request in writing. The ADA Coordinator will review, make a decision, and notify the employee of the decision within 10 calendar days, excluding school holidays, of receipt of the employee’s request for review. This decision is final.
- University Regulation 4-2 (Discrimination and Harassment) pertains to discrimination and harassment, including discrimination based on a disability. For more information on the regulation and complaint procedures, contact the Equal Opportunity Report and Response (EORR) office at report-it@uwyo.edu or 307-766-5200.
