are required to complete the steps outlined below through Student Disability Services (SDS). While students are welcome to contact SDS directly at any time to discuss or ask questions, the typical process is as follows:</strong></p> <p><strong>***</strong>Fellows, Post-Docs, Residents, or Faculty-affiliated, please contact Human Resources, Disability Management Services: <a href="https://hr.ucsf.edu/teams/disability-management">https://hr.ucsf.edu/teams/disability-management</a></p> <ol> <li><strong>Application</strong><br /> Please complete the <a href="https://ucsf-accommodate.symplicity.com/public_accommodation/">online program application</a>. Students will need to聽provide information about their disability, history of accommodations, and make requests for specific accommodations. Information provided is privately held within the聽Student Disability Services (SDS) office, and only accessible by SDS personel. Once the application is submitted, an SDS specialist will follow up to set up an initial appointment.</li> <li><strong>Documentation</strong><br /> Students who do not have documentation, and/or who believe they have an undiagnosed condition, should still contact SDS right away to discuss their circumstances further. SDS has developed <a href="https://sds.ucsf.edu/documentation-guidelines">documentation guidelines</a> to assist students with various disabilities and conditions with聽requesting the necessary documentation from their treatment providers. Students or their provider can send disability documentation to SDS in advance of the intake appointment, documentation can be uploaded here: <a href="https://shibboleth-ucsf-accommodate.symplicity.com/sso/">STUDENT PORTAL</a> or email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#e192959485848f958588928083888d889598a194829287cf848594de9294838b848295dcb2a4a2b4b3a4c4d2a0c4d3d1a588928083888d889598c4d3d1a58e82948c848f958095888e8f"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e89b9c9d8c8d869c8c819b898a8184819c91a89d8b9b8ec68d8c9d">[email protected]</span></a>. Please review these documentation guidelines and contact our office if there are further questions.</li> <li><strong>Determination of聽eligibility and accommodations</strong><br /> SDS聽takes聽into consideration the information provided during the initial meeting conversation, disability documentation, and the requirements of the academic and clinical program to determine eligibility for services and accommodations. This is an interactive process in which it is essential that the student be an active participant.</li> </ol> <p><strong>A detailed description of the process for housing accommodations can be found on the <a href="https://campuslifeserviceshome.ucsf.edu/housing-accessibility-2">UCSF Housing website.</a></strong></p> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="column"> <div class="sidebar"> <div class="section"> <div class="region region-sidebar"> <div id="block-block-6" class="block block-block"> <h3>Quick Links - SDS</h3> <div class="content"> <ul style="list-style: disc; margin-left: 15px"> <li><strong><a href="/appeals-grievances">Appeals & Grievances</a></strong></li> <li><a href="https://studentlife.ucsf.edu/student-concern-consultation"><strong>Student of Concern Consultations</strong></a></li> <li><strong><a href="https://studentlife.ucsf.edu/events-accessibility">Accessible Events Guide</a></strong></li> <li><strong><a href="http://studentlife.ucsf.edu">Student Life</a>聽(external link)</strong></li> <li><strong><a href="https://ucsf.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_86vZ3vT4oI6kBSK">How Was Your Experience with Us?
