Accommodations for Students with Disabilities

The Florida State University (FSU) College of Medicine welcomes qualified students with disabilities who meet the technical standards of the program, with or without reasonable accommodations.

Requesting Accommodations

If you are a student with a disability who needs reasonable accommodations to fully access your program, please do the following:

1.    Please register with FSU’s Office of Accessibility Services (OAS) online at https://dsst.fsu.edu/oas . You will upload your documentation of a disability with your application. 

2.    Meet with the OAS for an eligibility meeting.
It is University policy that accommodations are not provided retroactively and cannot be provided without first registering with the OAS and scheduling an intake meeting with an advisor at the OAS.

3.    If you are determined eligible for accommodations, the OAS will provide you with a letter of your accommodations. 

To ensure equitable access, students are encouraged to register with the OAS and schedule an intake meeting far in advance of the start of their program.  Please know that all information about the OAS's policies will be given to you at your intake meeting. They are also available online, and we strongly encourage you to become familiar with these, via the OAS's website.  Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the accommodations process. Our office serves as the OAS Liaison for the COM.
