Academic Accommodations

In order to request academic accommodations, appropriate documentation must be provided:

  • Current documentation (within the past three years)
  • Diagnosis
  • A summary of the testing that identified the disability
  • A description of the functional limitations that this disability has upon the student’s academic work

Often a student’s current IEP/504 plan contains this information.  The College reserves the right to require more detailed or more current information when necessary.
