Procedures for Requesting Services & Accommodations

  1. 1

    Make an Appointment with the Office of Student Services

    You must make an appointment with the Office of Student Services and provide documentation of an eligible condition. The eligible condition must have been verified by an appropriate professional/physician within the last three years. Students applying specifically for Learning Disability services must provide an assessment.

  2. 2

    Receive professor notification letters

    Students who are approved for academic accommodations will receive professor notification letters from the Dean of Students to take to their professors. These letters will clearly state the recommended accommodations for each specific course. Clinical information about students will not appear in these letters.

  3. 3

    Present notification letters to professor

    You are responsible for presenting the accommodation letter to the faculty member, and are expected to discuss the implementation of the accommodations with their professor. For example, if you are eligible for extended time on examinations in a separate distraction-reduced environment, you should discuss with the professor the arrangements for taking examinations under these conditions. Professors are encouraged to contact Student Services with any questions or concerns regarding accommodations.
