This **Student Accommodation Request Form** template is designed specifically for colleges, universities and educational institutions that need a secure, organized way to process accommodation requests from students with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health conditions and other needs that impact their academic experience. #### Built for disability services offices and accessibility coordinators Whether you're a disability services coordinator, accessibility office manager, student affairs professional or academic support specialist, this template helps you: - **Collect complete information upfront**: Students can describe their condition, requested accommodations (extended test time, note-taking support, alternate formats, quiet testing spaces) and upload medical documentation—all in one submission. - **Maintain FERPA compliance**: Paperform's SOC 2 Type II security standards and customizable privacy controls help you protect student health records and personal information according to federal requirements. - **Trigger the right workflows**: Use [Stepper](https://stepper.io) to route requests to the appropriate review team, schedule intake meetings, update your student information system and send approval letters—automatically. #### Why Paperform works for accommodation requests Traditional accommodation request processes often involve downloadable PDFs, walk-in appointments and email chains that can delay support for students who need it most. Paperform replaces that friction with a clear, accessible online form that students can complete on their own time, from any device. The doc-style editor lets you organize the form into logical sections—student information, disability documentation, requested accommodations and consent—with conditional logic that only shows relevant follow-up questions based on the type of accommodation being requested. You can embed the form directly into your student portal or accessibility services website, or share a direct link via email, Canvas or other learning management systems. Once a student submits their request, Paperform can automatically send a confirmation email with next steps, notify your team via Slack or email, and push the submission data (including uploaded documentation) into your case management system, Google Drive or Airtable for centralized tracking. For institutions that require multi-step approval processes, [Stepper](https://stepper.io) can coordinate reviews between disability services staff, academic departments and medical professionals without exposing sensitive information to the wrong people. #### A form that respects both compliance and student experience Students requesting accommodations are already navigating a complex system. Your intake form should make that process easier, not harder. Paperform's flexible design options let you create a form that feels welcoming and supportive—matching your institution's brand while maintaining the professionalism and security that FERPA-compliant processes require. If you're managing accommodation requests across multiple campuses, departments or programs, Paperform's Agency+ plan gives you the tools to manage everything under one account, with role-based permissions to control who can view sensitive student data. Trusted by educational institutions worldwide, Paperform helps you deliver better support for students with disabilities while keeping your processes secure, organized and compliant. Built for growing businesses, trusted by bigger ones. Trusted by 500K+ business owners and creators, and hundreds of millions of respondents. ![Capterra - 4.8 out of 5](/images/capterra-st.jpg) ![Trustpilot - 4.8 out of 5](/images/trustpilot-st.jpg) ![G2
