Requesting Disability Support Services

Students requesting diability support services are encouraged to contact the Student Services Office at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the semester. The student seeking services is responsible for providing appropriate verification material to support requested services. The student should provide diagnostic, prognostic, and prescriptive information from an approved professional in order to receive services. The Disability Support counselor will review verification material once it has been received and combine it with interview information received from the student to decide upon appropriate accommodation.

Verification information must be from an appropriate qualified professional who has particular expertise in the area of the condition/disability.

Once eligibility has been determined by the Disability Support counselor and accommodation(s) decided upon, a Disability Services Request is completed and provided to the student. The Disability Services Request is completed each succeeding semester that the student requests disability support services. The student must request disability support services at least 14 days prior to the beginning of each succeeding semester to assure accommodation(s) are received the first week of class. A copy of the student's registration must accompany the request for services. The student should provide the Disability Services Request letter to the appropriate faculty member. The student should discuss with the faculty member relevant information that will assist in providing the approved accommodation(s). The faculty member will assure that the student receives the approved accommodation(s). The Disability Support counselor is available to the student and faculty member for consultation.
