Accommodations needed on a temporary basis due to a medical event, crisis, or other extenuating circumstance, please contact Case Management. Short-term accommodations as support for illness or injury are coordinated on a case-by-case basis between the student, Case Manager, and faculty member. Time sensitive/immediate concerns, short-term issues, and special circumstances requiring accommodations will be facilitated through your Case Manager. You can schedule an appointment with Case Management by calling (504) 314-2160 or via email at srss@tulane.edu.

Case Management can help with the following:

• Complete medical withdrawal and return to school
• Academic concerns related to a crisis 
• Hospitalization and post-hospitalization support for emotional or physical conditions
• Accidents resulting in injury
• Serious illness (mononucleosis, meningitis, chronic illness, etc.)
• Death of a family member or close friend
• Acute emotional distress and behavioral health concerns\

*Goldman Center students may still be referred to Case Management.

Below is a summary of the overall process required for getting accommodations set up at Tulane University. From the time you submit your documentation, the process for requesting academic accommodations may take anywhere from 1-3 weeks. The timeline for housing accommodation requests may be longer. We HIGHLY encourage all students to initiate this process as soon as possible in order to avoid any potential delays.

1. Request accommodations by completing our online form using the “Request Accommodations” button and submit supporting documentation. Review the Documentation Guidelines for more information. Your qualified medical professional may utilize this Fillable Provider Form for guidance.
2. Follow the steps provided in an email from goldman@tulane.edu to schedule your Welcome Meeting. Meetings are scheduled via phone or email. 
3. Attend your Welcome Meeting to discuss your request with one of our staff members as part of our interactive process for determining accommodations.
4. Our staff will process your request; this processing may take a few business days after your meeting. A timeline or other considerations will be communicated to you during this meeting.
5. Follow the steps detailed in your accommodation determination email, including activating your accommodations.
6. After your accommodations are approved, you will need to (1) activate your accommodations now and (2) schedule your accommodated exams for the semester, if applicable.

 Additional Information about Housing Accommodations

At any time in the process, feel free to contact the Goldman Center for a telephone or in-person meeting to further discuss your accommodation needs. Any communication or documentation can be submitted to the Goldman Center via email goldman@tulane.edu, fax (504-862-8435) or regular mail (Goldman Center for Student Accessibility, 7001 Freret St, New Orleans, LA 70118). 

After our Center has received your request AND your documentation*, you will be contacted by a Goldman Center staff person to set up a Welcome Meeting. Please monitor the email you provided in your application for important communications from our office about next steps. Meetings can be held remotely (by Zoom video chat or by phone) or in person based on the student’s preference. 

*​In general, the Goldman Center requires that students complete their request for accommodations AND provide current documentation before scheduling a meeting with the student. However, we are aware of potential barriers that exist in seeking current documentation necessary to move forward with your request, and we seek to work with each student on a one-on-one level to navigate this process and discuss potential solutions and resources. If you have concerns about the documentation requirement, please feel free to contact the Goldman Center for further information and assistance.

​After your Welcome Meeting, you will need to "activate" your approved accommodations. This process allows you to select which professors are alerted of which of your accommodations. Please note that during the semester, we cannot guarantee to newly approved Goldman students that tests occurring in the same week as your Welcome Meeting will be accommodated, even if you become approved for testing accommodations. 

Each semester, remember to request to have your accommodations activated. This process lets the Goldman Center know that you are enrolled this semester and intend use your accommodations. Remember, you don't have to use your accommodations in every class.

Once you have submitted your activation requests, the Goldman Center will send emails to each of the professors in the classes where you have elected to use your accommodations.
