Identify
yourself to the DisAbility Services
office as a student with a disability and apply for services.
This means you will sit down and have an "intake" done with a
DisAbility Services Specialist.
Provide adequate documentation of your disability
on a timely basis. This means that the documentation was done by
a professional in the field, and not more than 5 years ago. It must
be received within 30 days. Eligibility for specific services will
be determined by you, the DisAbility Services Specialist and the Program
Director based on the documentation.
Initiate request for accommodations from your
DisAbility Services Specialist each semester by informing them after
you have registered. He/She will provide letters to inform faculty
of the accommodations you require. YOU are responsible for delivering
this letter to your instructor the first week of class if you want
to receive services for that class. Provide your coordinator a minimum
of two weeks notice for all accommodation requests (special accommodations
may require more time). Services are continued, as needed, unless
they are refused or abused by the student. |

When receiving testing accommodations, the student must assume responsibility
notifying his/her DisAbility Services Specialist that you will have a test
at least two days ahead of time, and reminding instructors to send your tests
to the appropriate area.
Provide for your own transportation, personal items, personal attendants, or
other disability needs not related to the academic environment.
Assume personal responsibility for maintaining contact with your DisAbility Services Specialist, for requesting accommodations, meeting with faculty, and maintaining
appropriate academic standards.
Most important remember you are responsible for your own education. You are respondible
for following guidelines and policies of faculty in each of your classes and
abiding by the Student
Code of Conduct at all times.
