Register Early
Some accommodations take time to arrange. Start your registration as early as possible, preferably before the semester begins. Meeting with ODS early helps make sure your accommodations are in place when you need them.
Guidelines for Documenting a Disability
Any student with a documented disability is eligible to register for services. Your documentation should:
- Confirm your disability
- Come from a qualified professional
- Be provided by someone impartial who is not a family member
- Include current information about your disability when appropriate
You should submit documentation through AIM before your intake appointment.
Learning Disabilities
If you are requesting accommodations for a learning disability, you may submit:
- An Individualized Education Program (IEP)
- A 504 Plan
- Intelligence and achievement testing
- Other current documentation from a qualified professional
If you have an IEP or 504 Plan and testing, we recommend submitting all of your documentation. ODS may request additional information depending on the accommodations you are requesting.
