Employee Accommodations
Our partners in the Office of Access, Compliance and Community (OACC) oversee the below types of employee requests for accommodations and adjustments.
Disability Accommodations
Requests for disability accommodations can be submitted through the ADA Accommodations Form. Complete information about the process to request disability accommodations can be found on OACC’s website.
Pregnant and Parenting Adjustments
Employee requests for adjustments based on pregnancy, parenting, and related conditions can also be submitted to OACC through the ADA Accommodations Form. More information for pregnant and parenting employees can be found on the OACC's website.
Religious Accommodations
Employee requests for religious accommodations related to employment should be submitted to OACC at oacc@gmu.edu. Apart from the circumstances outlined below, supervisors are not to work directly with employees on religious accommodations without the involvement of OACC.
Employees should use leaves of absence when necessary for religious observation or practice and should work directly with their supervisors (e.g. department chairs, director-level supervisors, or equivalent managers) regarding using leave, without the need for OACC review. Supervisors may consult with OACC for guidance in making determinations on religious accommodation requests related to leave. Supervisors must consult with OACC prior to denying any request to use leave for the purpose of absences due to a religious observance or practice.
For more information, please review University Policy 1205: Reasonable Accommodation on the Basis of Religion.
Questions
Employees or supervisors seeking information about employee accommodations or adjustments should contact OACC directly at oacc@gmu.edu or 703-993-8730.
