Student Accessibility Services

Students seeking accommodations must provide Student Accessibility Services with current documentation that identifies and describes the disability. Documentation should be submitted at the beginning of the semester. It must be completed by a licensed or certified professional qualified to assess the disability (e.g., psychologist, physician, or educational diagnostician).

Students are encouraged to contact Student Accessibility Services before their first semester begins—or as soon as a disability is diagnosed—to discuss academic needs and available support. Once appropriate documentation is on file, reasonable accommodations may be approved. For additional information or specific service guidelines, students should contact the Accommodations Coordinator.

1. Apply and be admitted to McMurry University through the standard admissions process.

2. Complete the online Application for Accommodations.

3. Contact Student Accessibility Services at 325-793-4880 or email Sandy Lane to schedule an appointment to discuss accommodation needs.

4. Upon approval, complete the Accommodations Form with the Accommodations Coordinator. Approved accommodations will be communicated to professors at the beginning of each semester through the student’s Pharos Student Success Management account.

Important: Students must complete this process at the beginning of each semester to receive accommodations.

Online Degree Students
Online students should complete the online Application for Accommodations and submit it, along with all required documentation, via fax or email to the Student Accessibility Services Coordinator for review. Students will be contacted regarding the status of their request.

Students are encouraged to apply at least 30 days before the start of their initial semester to allow adequate time to coordinate accommodations. Students should retain a personal copy of all submitted documentation.

All documentation will remain confidential, except where disclosure is permitted or required by law, and will be used solely to determine reasonable accommodations. Securing appropriate documentation is the student’s responsibility. McMurry University’s documentation criteria align with the 1997 guidelines of the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD).
