  As an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer, UC San Diego is required to document disability and religious accommodations requested by University employees. An accommodation is any change in the work environment or in the way things are customarily performed that enables an individual with a disability and/or religious practice to experience equal employment opportunities. Please note that completing this form alone should not replace the formal Interactive Process and DisAbility Counseling and Consulting should be contacted if questions or complex matters arise.
