Documentation Guidelines\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Disability is a valued diversity at the University of Maine. SAS collaborates with students and the campus community to provide reasonable accommodations which creates a more equitable, inclusive, and diverse learning environment. One of the first steps in the process of requesting accommodations is to provide documentation from a licensed professional or health provider who is both trained and qualified to evaluate the disability and familiar with the student\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

The documentation should be recent enough to reflect the student\u2019s current status. Copies of IEPs and Section 504 plans are informative, but if a diagnosis is not stated and test results are not reported these documents may not be sufficient documentation to support accommodation. Documentation may not be provided by a student\u2019s relative, friend, or family friend. PLEASE do not send copies of the student\u2019s medical records<\/p>\n

We recognize that there are some instances in which documentation may vary in a variety of ways, if you are concerned that you cannot provide documentation to our office prior to your initial meeting please reach out to our office staff to discuss your concerns.<\/p>\n
