Thank you for taking the opportunity to log in to Workday to update your Personal Information. The office

of Disability Resources was notified that you self-identified as an individual with a disability. Our office

assists employees seeking accommodations for disabilities. We help ensure that qualified individuals

receive reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of

the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

If you do not already, but would like to receive workplace accommodations through this office, you will

need to schedule an appointment with Disability Resources and provide documentation about your

disability. The required documentation varies based on the nature of the disability. A list of sample

documentation for several types of disabilities is found here:

should you wish.
