Supporting UA Employees through Workplace Accommodations
Our Commitment
The University of ½ûÂþÌìÌÃis committed to offering an equitable workplace to its diverse workforce. Faculty, staff, student-employees, and job applicants throughout the university 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 request under the Americans with Disabilities
Act). 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 Alaska, please choose a subject area
