The goal of this project is to modernize the accommodation request process with a fully ADA-compliant interface that allows students to seamlessly submit requests, connect with note-takers/transcribers, and has assistive devices for checked out electronically. Simplicity Accommodate will eliminate SDS’s manual processes with the ability to approve accommodation requests online, ensuring fast and cohesive communication between colleagues, offices, academic departments, and note-takers/ transcribers. Accommodate is an all-in-one platform that tracks student accommodation submission, and will enables GCU to easily track accessibility resources like test room availability and device inventory.
