Student Accessibility and Advocacy Office
The Student Accessibility & Advocacy (SAA) Office is committed to ensuring equal access and opportunity for students with disabilities at Albright College. In accordance with equal educational opportunity laws, Albright provides reasonable accommodations for qualified students whose disabilities may limit participation in academic programs and campus life.
Accommodations are determined on an individual basis through a process that considers the student's disability-related needs and supporting documentation.
The SAA Office partners with students to coordinate accommodations, promote self-advocacy, and connect them with resources that support academic success and full participation in the Albright experience.
Contact the Student Accessibility and Advocacy Office at SAA@albright.edu or 610-921-7503 or visit our office in Teel Hall 318.
Request an Accommodation
The SAA office processes all requests for academic, housing, medical and dining accommodations. Accommodation requests should be made via the Accommodations section of the Student Health Portal.
Confidentiality
We recognize that disclosing a disability or health condition is a personal decision. Students are encouraged to connect with the Student Accessibility & Advocacy (SAA) Office as early as possible to discuss accommodations, eligibility, or referrals for disability-related evaluations and to develop a proactive plan for academic success.
All information shared with SAA is confidential. Disability records are maintained separately from educational records, and the use of accommodations is not noted on transcripts or other permanent records. SAA cannot discuss a student's information with parents, guardians, or other third parties without the student's written consent, in accordance with FERPA.
SAA will not release records without written authorization from the student. Students requesting copies of documentation submitted by an outside provider must contact the original source directly, as SAA can only release records created by the office.
