Student Accessibility Services (SAS)

A qualified sign language interpreter for classes and other appropriate events is often one of the accommodations available for students who are deaf. Providing interpreter services requires advance planning and cooperation from the student. Students are urged to request interpreter services from SAS as soon as possible, preferably at least six weeks before the beginning of a new semester. View an informational PDF.

Students with food allergies should complete the Anderson University Food Allergy Policy and submit it to the office of the Dean of Students. View the form on the Health Services web page.

Students with disabilities needing information about the accommodation of an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) should read the Anderson University Emotional Support Animal Policy and Agreement available via the AU Housing homepage. Students who feel they meet the requirements may contact housing@anderson.edu or call (765) 641-4190 to request the newest updated application.

Service Animal owners who plan to bring a Service Animal on campus are encouraged to register the animal with Student Accessibility Services (SAS). Although registration is not required, it has benefits for the owner. For example, SAS staff can provide advance notice to university personnel that the owner and service animal are entitled to access. Also, SAS staff can help educate faculty and others that they should not distract or pet a service animal. The intended purpose of voluntary registration is to facilitate faculty and staff working well with service animal owners. For more information, please see the Anderson University Service Animal Policy located in the Student Handbook.
