Supporting UA Employees through Workplace Accommodations
Our Commitment
Faculty, staff, student-employees, and job applicants throughout the University of èßäÉçÇø¹ÙÍø system may request workplace accommodations related to disabilities; pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions; and religious beliefs.
Setting up an Accommodation
When an accommodation request is received, UA Human Resources’ Accommodations Group
facilitates an individualized, flexible, and interactive process involving the employee
or applicant and their supervisor or hiring manager to determine what reasonable accommodation
to grant in each particular circumstance. Because the process and requirements of
each type of request may vary, supervisors and hiring managers may be informed of
the high-level type of request (e.g., a disability-related request). However, supervisors
and hiring managers are never informed of any medical details shared with Human Resources
as part of the accommodations process. For further information regarding accommodations
at the University of èßäÉçÇø¹ÙÍø, please choose a subject area below.
