Modification of Requirement

Requesting a modification:

For students seeking a modification of the Swim Requirement due to a disability, they must make their request through Student Disability Services before any substitution, adaptation, or postponement will be considered.
When meeting with SDS, please review their documentation guidelines to understand what documentation they require. The Physical Education Office will adapt the swim requirement to the individual needs of a student with a disability whenever possible.
Complete the online Disability Self-Disclosure and Request for Access Accommodations Form.
Please Note: Part of the disability accommodation determination process may result in you and an SDS representative meeting with PE staff to discuss reasonable modifications.
If modifications do not prove an effective means for meeting the swim requirement, PE will advise on the next steps to satisfy the swim requirement.

For non-disability related modifications, please email bar28@cornell.edu
