Saginaw Valley State University Office of Disability Services has the responsibility to recommend and arrange accommodations for students with disabilities. A formal appeal process is available to students who believe accommodations have been denied, the recommended accommodation is not appropriate, or their rights have been violated. Although there is no time limit for filing a complaint, mediation and resolutions will be for current or on-going situations.

If a complaint is brought by a student regarding denial of an accommodation for an ongoing class, the decision of the Office of Disability Services to provide or deny said accommodation shall be implemented until such time as a formal resolution is achieved. Faculty issues with decisions regarding accommodation of students with disabilities should be referred to the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
