Requests for Course Accommodations

The Verified Individualized Services and Accommodations (VISA) is the primary method of documentation that enables students to validate and communicate their needs to faculty as determined via a thorough assessment of needs by the MSU Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities. A similar form of documentation is called a VISTA and performs the same functions for students with conditions of a temporary nature.

Help and Points of Contact

Your primary point of contact for accessibility will be your department’s web accessibility policy liaison. Your department liaison will be able to answer questions regarding accessibility, as well as direct you to available resources.

Urgent Assistance

If you have been contacted by a student and you need immediate/emergency assistance regarding the accessibility of your content, it is important that you continue to contact college and university resources until you speak with someone directly, beginning with your department’s accessibility liaison.

If your department liaison is unavailable or unable to assist you, the following ANR and MSU points of contact are also available to you:
