What are the differences between accommodations, alternative assignments, and temporary accommodations?

1) Candidates with disabilities can request special accommodations by submitting the Accommodations Request Form. 

2) Candidates who will be out of work for a time-limited period can request alternative assignments by submitting the Alternative Assignments Request Form. Requests must be submitted before the Anticipated Leave Date (i.e. If candidates will be out of work beginning April 1, requests must be submitted prior to April 1; with a strong preference of at least 2 weeks notice). 

Candidates should only complete this form if they are requesting alternate assignments because they don't have access to the workplace for a period not to exceed 6 weeks. 

3) Candidates who need accommodations for their coursework for a time-limited period (often due to medical reasons) can request temporary accommodations by submitting the Accommodations Request Form. 

4) Candidates who need accommodations and will be out of work for a time-limited period can request both temporary accommodations and alternative assignments by submitting the Alternative Assignments Request Form.
