High School vs. College Accommodations

In college, the student is responsible for initiating the accommodation process.
For a smooth transition, contact the Manager of Student Accessibility Services prior to enrollment.
Provide the manager with documentation and diagnosis from a qualified professional.
The manager will interview you and read your documentation to make a determination.
Once a determination is made students receive copies of their accommodation letters.
It is the student’s responsibility to contact his/her instructors to activate accommodations.
The manager is available for mediation, and academic support.
Students need to reactivate the accommodations each semester to continue services.

What documentation is needed and who provides it?

It is the student’s responsibility to provide documentation for the determination of services.
Documentation must be certified by a qualified professional in the relevant area of disability: medical doctor, licensed psychologist, or clinical counselor.
Certified documentation must be written on professional stationery, and signed and dated. See the documentation link.
Documentation must include the diagnosis of a physical, psychiatric, or learning disability.
For a learning disability, documentation must include testing results and analysis.
For a physical disability, documentation must include a description of functional limitations.
For a psychiatric disability, documentation must include symptoms and specific needs.
Although not required, suggestions for accommodations related to the disability are helpful.
