Chapter 18 – Accessible Furniture

Overview

The university has developed general standards for accessible classroom furniture for new and remodeled classrooms.

The SAR Center requests that students view classroom furniture prior to requesting this accommodation through the SAR Student Portal. 

Process

1. Students who request accessible furniture will be contacted by their Accessibility Specialist.

2. Notify the SAR Center at sarcenter@uta.edu within the first week of the semester or as soon as possible if you encounter a problem with the furniture.

3. Furniture requests made during the semester may take up to three (3) weeks to complete. The SAR Center will work as quickly as possible to place the furniture, based on classroom availability.

4. Medically prescribed seating and other items of a personal nature are not the responsibility of the University. Students may furnish their own personal items, such as special seating devices or cushions, as long as the device or equipment does not damage current furniture or impede the entry to and exit from the classroom.
