In order to request academic accommodations, appropriate documentation must be provided:
- A self-disclosure form MUST be completed by the student and provided to Health, Counseling and Disability Services
- Current documentation (typically prepared within the past three years) that provides an identification of the disability
- Educational, developmental and/or medical history relevant to the disability
- A summary of the testing/assessment that identified the disability along with scores of individual tests
- A description of the functional limitations that this disability has upon the student’s learning and academic work.
A current IEP/504 plan is helpful in providing information about the type of support that has been helpful in the past, but it rarely contains the detailed documentation required. The College reserves the right to require more detailed or more current information when necessary. All documentation should be sent directly to Dr. Kevin Feisthamel, Director of Health, Counseling and Disability services.
