Abstract: As disability services offices increasingly serve students who seek to modify academic requirements — attendance and deadline modifications, so‐called memory aids for closed book exams, course substitutions for mathematics and foreign language requirements, emotional support animals, and roommate‐free housing accommodations — it's easy to forget that the Americans with Disabilities Act also obligates schools to provide intra‐campus travel accommodations to students with mobility impairments. Students who cannot travel independently on campus face barriers to access that have literally nothing to do with academic requirements.
