The purpose of an accommodation, within the context of higher education and disability, is to remove a barrier that prevents a student with a disability from having equal access to the same opportunities readily available to their peers. The vast majority of requested accommodations are determined to be reasonable. Only when an accommodation would place an undue financial or administrative burden on the University as a whole and/or create a fundamental change in the nature of a program or service, would the accommodation be considered unreasonable.
