Common Accommodations

Accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the need of a student. Appropriate and reasonable accommodations are adjustments to a learning environment, course or program that allow a student with a documented need to have equal access to the rights and services available to all students. The list below includes a sample of the most common accommodations provided at DBU. Accommodations are not retroactive, and the examples listed may only be utilized if they have been approved through Accommodation Services. The student is responsible for their own utilization of services provided and overall academic success.

Assistance and Service Animals

Dallas Baptist University recognizes the importance of Service Animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Assistance Animals, otherwise known as emotional support animals, under the Fair Housing Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. DBU is committed to providing individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to use and enjoy University housing. Although it is the policy of DBU that individuals are generally prohibited from having animals of any type in University housing, DBU will consider a request by an individual with a disability for a variance from this prohibition to allow a Service Animal or Assistance Animal that is necessary because of a disability. Assistance Animals may not be kept in University housing at any time prior to the individual receiving approval from Student Affairs.
