Sophia Learning is committed to providing individuals with disabilities or extenuating circumstances equal access to course material and services within the parameters of the law. Sophia Learning offers reasonable accommodations to qualified learners.
Once accommodations have been approved, you may receive a document confirming your eligibility for educational accommodations for the specific course, which also provides you with the appropriate information to complete your course. Use the said document as you complete your touchstone(s).
If you have any Accommodation requests, please submit a request form for our Leadership team to review and respond to.
If there are any questions, please contact the Learning Coaches at learningcoach@sophia.org. All the best in your academic and professional journey!
- What documentation do I need when applying for accommodations? Documentation can take a variety of forms, including IEP/504 plans, letters from doctors/psychologists, accommodation letters from previous schools, hospital reports, etc.
- If I disclose my disability, will my information remain confidential? Sophia Learning respects your independence, rights, and dignity. Therefore, identifying yourself and requesting accommodations are completely voluntary. In accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Sophia Learning handles all disability-related information confidentially, with the potential for disclosure only on a need-to-know basis.
