The
Accommodation Process
Appropriate services and accommodations are
determined on a case-by-case basis. Students
with questions about eligibility for services
are encouraged to contact the Coordinator
of Disability Services.
Responsibilities of the Student:
-
Disclose his/her disability by
completing the blue “Voluntary Statement of
Special Learning Needs” form. To access this
form, please click on the Online Request
Form link on this website.
-
Provide the Coordinator of Disability
Services with
appropriate medical, psychological, psychoeducational, or neuropsychological
documentation indicating his/her disability, resultant functional
limitations, impact of the disability in a
postsecondary environment and any
recommended or suggested accommodations. Submission of documentation is not the same
as the request for services or
accommodations.
-
Request accommodations by scheduling an
initial appointment with the
Coordinator of Disability Services
to
discuss
academic history, strengths, previous
modifications, and to determine
reasonable accommodations.
-
Meet
with the Coordinator of Disability Services
each semester to request accommodations.
The student should bring a copy of his/her
class schedule if it is available.
**Semester
accommodations must be arranged at least 2
weeks prior to the student’s first final
exam.
Reasonable Accommodation
A reasonable accommodation is a
modification or adjustment to a course,
program, service, or activity that enables a
qualified student with a disability to
obtain equal access. Equal access means an
opportunity to attain the same level of
performance or to enjoy equal benefits and
privileges as are available to a similarly
situated student without a disability. Essential elements of courses,
programs, and activities must remain intact.
