To notify your professors of your approved accommodations in your classes each semester, please submit a Semester Request through the Bison Accommodate App found on the MyLipscomb portal.  You must complete this every semester for your accommodations to be renewed.

If you have testing accommodations and want to take your tests in the Testing Center, you must request to take the test at least 3 days in advance, not counting the weekends or holidays.  Go to the Bison Accommodate App and complete a Testing Room Booking Form to reserve a space in the Testing Center.

The Testing Center is in Beaman Library.  It is only for students registered with the ACCESS program.  If you have any questions about your tests, please email us at accessibility [at] lipscomb.edu.

Thank you for your service to our country! If you have been discharged with a disability rating, you are most likely eligible for accommodations in the classroom. The accommodation process is quick and confidential and may increase your success in college!

Think of this as a resource—not a crutch. For more information, contact ACCESS at 615.966.6301 or email at accessibility [at] lipscomb.edu.
