Any student with a disability must provide documentation by a licensed health
care professional who is qualified in the diagnosis of the disability and is
currently or recently associated with the student and can verify the disabling
condition.
The diagnosis must reflect the student's present level of functioning as it
relates to the major life activity affected by the disability. The documentation
must also include recommendations regarding effective academic accommodations to
equalize this student's educational opportunities at the post-secondary level,
that is, describe the services or accommodations needed for exam administration,
classroom or study activities of fulfillment of course requirement, etc.
For more specific information, see our pages on documentation for
Students with Learning Disabilities and
Students with Psychological and/or Attentional
Disabilities.
The student must present the verified documentation to the Office of Special
Student Services prior to receiving accommodations and/or services.
The cost of obtaining professional verification is the student's
responsibility.
For questions regarding documentation and assessment procedures see the
contact information in the menu on the left.
