ADA Accommodation
The University of South Florida is committed to creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment for all students, employees, and visitors. Part of this commitment is to assure equal opportunity in employment and education for individuals with disabilities. The university is an Equal Opportunity/Equal Access employer and therefore complies fully with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), the ADA Amendment Act of 2008, and all other federal and state laws and regulations prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability or handicap. Human Resources oversees the university's Disability and Accommodations policy (#0-108) as it relates to employment by determining eligibility for accommodation, and by reviewing and approving or denying requests for accommodation. This page is designed primarily to provide guidance and information to employees who have questions about or would like to request a disability accommodation.
The purpose of an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is to enable employees with a disability to perform the essential functions of the job. Employers are required to provide a reasonable accommodation to qualified individuals with disabilities, except when such accommodation would cause an undue hardship. ADA may have interactions with other laws such as the Family Medical Leave Act and Workers’ Compensation. The HR Business Partner, ADA and Return to Work Programs, administers ADA and assists employees and departments with the process.
