How to Register

Services and/or accommodations are provided to all students with disabilities who provide documentation and personally request services through the Disability Services Office. Accommodations are individualized to address specific functional limitations resulting from a disability. There must be a logical link between the functional limitation and the accommodations being provided. 
  • Student must make an appointment with the Disability Services Office, bring current documentation regarding the disability, and fill out an intake form.
  • Documentation will be reviewed  to determine if the documentation is complete and accurate.
  • The Disability Services Director will discuss the support services and/or accommodations that are appropriate.

Students must request services. Submission of documentation does not activate services or accommodations. The accommodations or recommendations (if any) that the student has received in the past may not be considered.

Documentation is evaluated for completeness and appropriateness under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the American with Disabilities Act of 1990, along with Disability Services requirements. Accommodations and/or services will be provided based off these criteria as well.
