If you have a health condition that impacts how you perform your job, you may be eligible for reasonable accommodations.
What is an accommodation?
A reasonable accommodation is any change or adjustment to a job or work environment that permits a person with a disability to participate in the job application process, to perform the essential functions of a job, or to enjoy benefits and privileges of employment equal to those enjoyed by people without disabilities.
For example, a reasonable accommodation may include, but is not limited to:
• Buying or modifying equipment or devices
• Modified work schedules
• Changing the physical layout of an office
Requesting accommodations
The application to request accommodations has two steps:
- Submit the online request form; and
- Return this ADA questionnaire form to the Office for Campus Accessibility (adaaccess@tulane.edu), after it has been completed by your medical provider.
You can upload your medical documents or you can submit them later by logging into your employee portal.
Checking the status of an accommodation request
Once you submit an accommodation request online you will receive a confirmation email, and our office will review your request. You will receive follow up emails regarding the status of your request, but you can also log into your online portal anytime using your Tulane Single Sign On to check your accommodation status, upload additional documents, or request additional accommodations.
For more on the accommodation process, visit adaccess.tulane.edu, email ADAaccess@tulane.edu or call (504) 247-1774.
Note: The Equal Opportunity team in the Office of Human Resources is the office responsible for conducting investigations into employee complaints of disability discrimination.
