Employee Request for Accommodation Form


This form must be completed and submitted to Equity and Access Services (EAS) when an employee wishes to make a request for accommodation due to a disability. To be eligible for a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA, 2008), the employee must be qualified to perform the essential functions of his/her position with or without an accommodation and have a qualifying disability that impacts a major life function or major bodily function. All medical-related information shall be kept confidential and maintained separately from other personnel records. However, supervisors and managers may be consulted as related to unit function/mission and the employee’s specific duties and functions. Medical information may be shared with appropriate first responders should the employee become incapacitated during a medical emergency and require treatment or if any specific procedures are needed in the case of fire or other evacuations.

The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) prohibits employers and other entities covered by GINA Title II from requesting or requiring genetic information of an individual or family member of the individual, except as specifically allowed by this law. To comply with this law, we are asking that you not provide any genetic information when responding to this request for medical information.

More information on the university's process and resources can be found on the Accessibility.vcu.edu or ADA Services websites.
