COVID19 Information for Students

Meetings with SASS are by appointment only. If you would like to schedule an appointment with a SASS advisor please log into the Accommodate system using your Kenyon login credentials and select Appointment in the menu. Here you will be able to select Request New Appointment. Please contact Emily Wise by emailing wisee@kenyon.edu or by calling 740-427-5692, if you would like assistance scheduling an appointment with SASS.

SASS coordinates the provision of accommodations for students with disabilities. Accommodations are individualized, confidential and based upon both the nature of the disability and the classroom or other program requirements.

Students requesting accommodations must provide current documentation of their disability. Documentation should be provided by a licensed professional and submitted to the SASS office.

When to contact student accessibility and support services

New/first-time students registering with Student Accessibility and Support Services (SASS): It is highly recommended that requests for disability related accommodations and services be made as soon as you are an enrolled student by completing the SASS Accommodate Intake Survey. 

When you register for support services, you will need to do three things:

1. Complete the SASS Accommodate Intake Survey through Accommodate.
2. Check your Kenyon email to obtain the Medical or Mental Health Provider Form. This form must go to your provider and be completed by them.
3. Schedule an Intake Interview with Erin Salva or Liz Keeney. Once your Intake Interview is complete and SASS receives your supporting documentation, your accommodations will be approved and an accommodation email will be sent to your faculty and you.

Current Students (already registered with SASS): 

Currently enrolled students will use Kenyon College's Accommodate to request an appointment to discuss academic accommodations for each semester. Accommodations do not automatically roll from semester to semester; you must request them for each semester.

Parents and Family:

SASS staff are happy to answer general disability questions but cannot share student-specific information with anyone other than the student. Once students complete the SASS Accommodate Intake Survey through Accommodate students will be instructed to arrange a time to meet for an intake interview. Please feel free to contact SASS at any time with questions or concerns.

Faculty and Staff:

If a student discloses a disability to you, please refer then to the SASS website or staff immediately. Students that are new to Student Accessibility and Support Services will need to complete the SASS Accommodate Intake Survey process online by going to the Accommodate Intake Survey.
