Student Responsibilities and Documentation
Student Responsibilities
♦ Students who believe they are eligible for services must self-identify and provide current documentation of their disability to the Accessibility Services Office in order to determine appropriate services.
♦ Students are encouraged to schedule a meeting with the Accessibility Coordinator before the start of an academic year to discuss specific needs and accommodations.
♦ Students are strongly encouraged to be proactive due to the fact that some accommodations, e.g., adaptive equipment, alternative book format, etc., can take several weeks to order/obtain.
♦ Students are expected to provide their own transportation, personal attendant, and other items not directly related to the academic environment.
Documentation
♦ Documentation should not be more than three years old
♦ Documentation should come from the medical professional who diagnosed or is currently treating you and must be an expert in the field.
♦ If you think you may have a learning or psychological disability or your documentation is three years or older but do not have insurance or your insurance will not pay for a psychological evaluation, Counseling Services will provide a free battery of testing.
