Cornell has a precollege summer program for high school students.

Student Disability Services (SDS) will arrange for the provision of auxiliary aids, assistive technology, and reasonable accommodations for all qualified precollege studies students with documented disabilities, including academic accommodations, accessible campus housing, transportation services, and dietary or dining accommodations and resources.

If you have a disability need accommodations, you will need to register with SDS after you have been accepted by, and committed to attending, a precollege summer program at Cornell.

Review of accommodation requests will begin in late March or early April and continue through the duration of the summer programs. Some accommodations, such as accessible format textbooks/materials, or sign language interpreters, take advance notice to arrange, so please register with SDS as soon as you have been accepted and committed to attending. 

Academic Accommodations

It is important that you register with SDS before the start of your program to allow time for SDS to determine eligibility for accommodations and ensure that accommodations are in place at the beginning of the term.

Examples of accommodations include: testing accommodations, textbooks in accessible formats, and communication access. Disability services do not include academic coaching or tutoring.

Please register with SDS by May 31st to allow appropriate time to make arrangements.

Housing 

The residence halls used for Summer College are comprised of double and single rooms, have hallway access to shared bathrooms, and vary in distance from dining halls and bus stops. They may not have air conditioning (you are permitted to bring fans). If you have a documented medical need for an accessible housing accommodation (such as needing an air conditioning unit to be installed by Cornell Facilities; a single room; access to a strobe alarm; or to be placed near a bathroom, or elevator, or dining hall), register with SDS by May 24th to allow for time to do a proper housing placement and/or to install necessary equipment.
