Understanding and Completing ODS Forms

ODS has several forms which must be completed by students for varying purposes. There are distinctive procedures to follow. Understanding the procedures for the forms is very important. There is a reason for every step in the procedure and every line on the forms.


Accommodation Agreement Request (AAR)
This form is used by those students who need to complete SAAs, to request that a ODS staff member prepare the top section of those forms and make the forms available to the student to complete. This form is also to be used by students who must request the placement of adaptive furniture into classrooms or to arrange for interpreting or real-time captioning services.

Accommodative Testing Form (ATF)
Students will use this form to make arrangements to take tests with accommodations in the Accommodative Testing and Adaptive Technology Center (ATATC). A separate ATF must be completed for each test to be taken. Each form must be submitted no later than one week before the date of the test to which it refers. The ATF is printed on two-part NCR paper; the original (top/yellow sheet) must be submitted to ODS and the copy (bottom/pink sheet) may be given to the instructor. ODS cannot accept forms without complete information.

Agreement for Computer-Assisted Note Taking
Each semester, students receiving real-time captioning/computer assisted note taking, must complete and submit one of these agreements, outlining policies and procedures.

Agreement for Interpreting Services
Each semester, students receiving interpreting must complete and submit one of these agreements.

Computer Assisted Note Taking Evaluation
At the end of the semester, or on an as-needed basis, ODS requests that students receiving real-time captioning/computer assisted note taking evaluate the service providers.

Interpreter Evaluation
At the end of the semester, or on an as-needed basis, ODS requests that students receiving interpreting services evaluate the service providers.

Information Release
This form is provided as a courtesy to those students whose documentation providers need official written requests for document release. It is in the form of a letter from the student to the provider, requesting that documentation be sent to ODS. The student should enter the provider's address in the inside address portion of the letter, and her or his own address in the return address.

Loan Form
This form is signed by any student wishing to borrow any piece of equipment or alternative format textbook belonging to ODS for purpose of accommodation. The form states the individual's responsibility for the care and use of the item, as well as lists the date (and, in some instances, time) by which return of the item is expected. It will be kept on file in the ODS office, and will be presented for the student’s signature by the staff member releasing the item.

Student Accommodation Agreement (SAA)
This form is used by most students receiving classroom accommodations and by all students receiving testing accommodations through ODS. One form should be submitted for each class in which such accommodations will be needed.

Student Agreement for Note Taking Services
This form is part of the Student Note Taker Packet. A student eligible for the accommodation of note taking assistance, must agree to read and follow the policies and procedures outlined by the Office of Disability Services for the provision of note taking services by signing and returning this form to ODS.

Student Contract for the Alt-Format Textbooks Program
This form is part of the Alternate Format Textbooks Program Student Packet. This form must be completed by students who receive course material in alternative formats. The student must agree to read and follow the policies and procedures outlined.

Student Information Form (SIF)
This form must be completed by any student wishing to receive services of any kind from ODS. Any information about which the student is unsure or which the student is reluctant to provide should be discussed with a ODS staff member. This form will be used as a source of contact information for the student as well as for statistical data on the student. It will be kept in the student's confidential file.

Volunteer Note Taker Information Form
This form is part of the Volunteer Note Taker Packet. It must completed by students who act as volunteer note takers for students with disabilities who need them. The form requests information on the note taker’s identity, the identity of the student for whom the note Taker is taking notes, and the semester and class in which notes are being taken. ODS uses this information to determine to whom to issue the non-monetary rewards for the volunteer note Takers.

Student Survey
This form is available in two formats
Student Survey - Accessible pdf
Student Survey - Word for PC
