Request for Exception or Reasonable Accommodation
Effective February 1, 2017, any request for travel accommodations related to disability or serious underlying health concern must be approved prior to making any travel related purchases. Employees requesting accommodation must do so by submitting a reasonable accommodation request to the Office of Equal Opportunity and Compliance (OEOC). Reasonable accommodations for travel might include but are not limited to requests for: extra leg room, bigger seat, or larger car where such is necessary to meet the disability-related needs of the University employees traveling for work. If the accommodation is approved, the OEOC will provide the Traveler with a notice of approval and must be attached to every Spend Authorization/Expense Report submitted to the Travel Office where the accommodation is utilized.
