Disability Services Information

Students requesting disability-based accommodations must contact the Disability Specialist and present qualified and current documentation detailing the diagnosis and effect of the disability.

Students are encouraged to contact the Disability Specialist immediately after registering for courses so that accommodations may be provided in a timely manner. The documentation must clearly identify that the student has one or more physical or mental impairments that substantially limit one or more of their major life activities.

Subsequently, the Disability Specialist reviews the documentation and determines appropriate accommodations. The Disability Specialist provides the student a letter to authorize and identify specific accommodations to the student’s instructor(s) and to other support services staff (Testing Center, Student Support Services).

Confidentiality is maintained at all times. And information is not released without signed student consent. Instructors and Testing Center staff are informed only of the necessary accommodation.

The Disability Specialist also provides information about accommodation approaches, including assistive and adaptive technology to students, faculty, and staff. He serves as the campus liaison with external agencies that provide funding and support services for students with disabilities. In addition, the Disability Specialist provides training to faculty and staff regarding the provision of reasonable accommodations to students with disabilities, and keeps faculty and staff apprised of ADA issues.
