Accommodations Services Log

UC San Diego is required to engage in the Interactive Process and document job accommodations. Please note that completing this form alone should not replace the formal Interactive Process and DCC should be contacted if questions or complex matters arise.

In addition to completing this log, please submit written documentation from your licensed treatment provider that confirms an underlying health condition and identifies any functional limitations as a result of the health condition that render you unable to effectively perform one or more essential functions of your position.  Your diagnosis is not being requested.

Documentation should be submitted to hrdcc@ucsd.edu or to your assigned Disability Counselor.

HR Contacts/Supervisors: If you have provided a reasonable accommodation (i.e. ergonomic equipment, modified work schedule, etc.) independent of DCC consultation, it must be registered on the above Accommodations Services Log.
