The Eastern Michigan University (EMU) Disability Resource Center (DRC) views disabilities as an integral part of the rich diversity of our campus community and society. We work collaboratively with students, faculty and staff to create an accessible, sustainable, and inclusive educational environment for all students. The DRC acknowledges that classroom and campus accessibility needs and considerations are expanding as more classes and campus experiences incorporate online and technological components. The DRC staff is dedicated to providing access to students, faculty and staff with resources to educate and create an equitable campus experience for the EMU community.
Announcements
Dear Student,
This is to remind you that Academic Letters of Accommodation (LOA's) are done on a semester basis. Link to video about renewal process, and the script for the video.
Please see the Revised Instructions Documentlinkto our document explaining the steps to renewing your Letter of Accommodation (LOA) for the Fall 2025 semester. The Fall semester request will be available to complete starting August 1st, 2025.
You must be registered for Fall 2025 before submitting a Fall semester request. We will start sending out LOA’s once we have your semester request and all instructors are assigned. Please respond to this email if you encounter any problems with regard to this process.
Tip - During their first week of classes, students should review their LOA with their instructor and go over any questions
Important- it is the student’s responsibility to email [email protected] if their class schedule changes after they submit their semester request. Examples of changes include: instructor change, changing sections, adding a class, etc. This is required to ensure your LOA is accurate and sent to the correct instructors.
Housing & Dining LOA's will continue to remain in place for the full 2025-2026 academic year. If you are looking for new housing or dining accommodations, please respond to this email and request a meeting with a Case Manager. Housing accommodations are based on availability.
Do not hesitate to reach out to our office with any questions.
