The Accommodations and Accessibility Officer works within the Office of Academic Support.  In order to respect your privacy and ensure a thoughtful interactive process please contact the Office of Academic Support to make an appointment. We encourage students to apply for accommodations upon acceptance into their program to begin this process early; however, applications for accommodations may be submitted at any time. All requests are reviewed and determined in a timely manner. Please email or call Megan Siemers Livingston to make an appointment: msiemers@nymc.edu or 914-594-3873.
