Procedure to Identify Disability and Receive Accommodations 

  • Incoming Students complete the “Disability Form” within the Orientation Forms website sent by Admissions office by July 1 for fall enrollment and December 15 for spring enrollment.
  • Student downloads appropriate Disability Verification Form(s) for medical provider to complete.
  • The Director of Disability Services, in consultation with The Disability Review Board, reviews provided verification information to determine appropriate and reasonable accommodations.  All documentation is considered CONFIDENTIAL. The student will be notified whether documentation is sufficient to determine appropriate accommodations.
  • First week of classes, the student meets with the Director of Disability Services and signs an “Authorization to Notify Professors/Staff Form” concerning accommodations. Subsequent semesters a student may just complete the form without meeting with the Director unless changes need to be made to the accommodations.
  • The student arranges classroom accommodations with faculty/staff.
  • The student is encouraged be a self-advocate and when needed enlists the help of Director of Disability Services.
  • Each semester a student signs a new “Authorization to Notify Professors/Staff Form.” Procedure for Enrolled Students 

A previously enrolled student who acquires or discovers that he/she has a disability, whether temporary or permanent, submits documentation and follows the above steps.  Testing for learning disabilities and/or ADHD is available through referrals to off-campus professionals. The fees for such assessments are the responsibility of the student.
