Upon completion of the review process, students will receive written notification of accommodations offered and/or denied within one week.

Admitted Students: Students accepted to SGTU with a disability and/or medical condition requiring reasonable accommodation(s) may submit a Disability Accommodation application to their Program Advisors.
