Accommodations
Purdue University is committed to making education, employment, services, programs and activities accessible. Purdue University offers numerous resources to employees, students and visitors who may need additional assistance while attending, visiting and/or working for the University. The Purdue Community works together to remove any barriers that prevent equal opportunities to individuals who have disabilities.
EMPLOYEE ACCOMMODATIONS
Human Resources is responsible for the employee ADA accommodation request process. To request ADA accommodations, faculty and staff must contact Human Resources by:
- Emailing adarequest@purdue.edu
- Visiting the ADA/ADAAA website for more information
Employees complete and submit the following documents:
The employee will then meet with a Human Resources Benefits representative to discuss the request after the completed documents are received. Human Resources will then review the information provided (including medical documentation), engage in the interactive process, and make a decision. Please note that this process can take 4-6 weeks.

Dietary Accommodations
Purdue Dining & Culinary works with students, staff, and guests who have food allergies by providing options in all Residential dining locations. Purdue Dining & Culinary is not in a position to guarantee a completely allergen-free environment. Rather, they are dedicated to minimizing the risk of exposure and we encourage all students and guests to disclose their needs and plan for effective response to possible emergencies.
Some food-allergy students may require further assistance in Residential dining operations. Take the following steps to request a dietary accommodation.
- Contact a Registered Dietitian at allergicboiler@purdue.edu to connect with Purdue Dining & Culinary. The dietitian will need to know what food allergies you have and what your typical diet is like.
- Contact the Disability Resource Center and schedule an appointment to discuss your housing and dining needs.
- Submit documentation of your food allergy or medical condition from an MD, DO, or NP.
The Disability Resource Center determines if you are a qualified student with a disability. Qualified students with a disability are eligible for dietary accommodations. Dining & Culinary’s Registered Dietitian determines appropriate and reasonable accommodations for these students in conjunction with the Disability Resource Center. Students will receive communication from the dietitian about implementing their accommodation.
Requests for accommodations for on-campus student housing are made through the Disability Resource Center.
Recreational Activities
The France A. Córdova Recreational Sports Center strives to expand the opportunities of inclusion for individuals with both visible and invisible disabilities, optimizing recreational pursuits for all Boilermakers.
