Steps to Accommodations

In order to receive accommodations through the University, students need to complete the Accommodation Request Form and provide supporting documentation to the Disability Office. To allow the University sufficient time for processing, requests should be submitted no later than two (2) weeks (10 working days) prior to the start of the semester. All accommodation requests turned in after the course has begun will be in place as of the date the form and documentation was received by the Disability Office. Accommodations will not be retroactive. Processing of accommodations begins after both the request form and the appropriate documentation information is received. It is the student’s responsibility to submit a new request form (not documentation) for each semester. Please note that the University cannot provide accommodations that are not requested.

Complete the Accommodation Request Form (If you complete the on-line form, an email will be automatically generated and sent on your behalf to the Disability Office email address.)
Supporting documentation is required for all students requesting accommodations through the Disability Office. The documentation must be from a medical provider (such as a doctor, psychologist, psychiatrist, etc.) or from testing services (such as Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and other tests). The documentation should be on letterhead from the provider or service company. The documentation is kept on file in the Disability Office for verification purposes.
