4.2. Accommodations for Disability
To be eligible for disability-related services, individuals must have a documented disability as defined by section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and/or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. Eligible disabilities include physical and mental impairments which may include but are not limited to vision, hearing, mobility, learning, systemic, psychiatric, and brain injury that substantially limit one or more major life activity.
Students with disabilities are encouraged to fill out the Disability Services Request form available on the web and in the Office of Student Affairs (OSA). Disability evaluations from an appropriate professional must have been performed within five years of the date of submission; otherwise students will be asked to submit a current evaluation at their own expense. If the initial documentation is incomplete or inadequate to determine the extent of the disability and appropriate accommodations, Student Services has the discretion to require supplemental assessment of a disability. (OSA can provide assistance in locating appropriate, licensed evaluators.) All information provided will be kept confidential except as required by law.
