Documentation Guidelines
Guidelines for Documenting a Disability
Any full or part-time day or evening student with a documented disability is eligible for services.
Students are required to bring in documentation of their disability from a licensed professional when initially meeting with the Office of Disability Staff.
Documentation should include recommendations for accommodations and justification for the request.
Students meet with the Office of Disability Services staff prior to the start of each semester to review accommodation needs.
Early planning is essential for many of the accommodations provided. Please contact us as services are based on individual needs and circumstances.
Below are links to specific guidelines for documentation of disabilities. Each link will open a new browser window with a printable documentation page.
