1. Once accepted into the university, enroll in courses.
2. If you have enrolled in courses on the main campus, make an appointment with
the professional staff at Disability Support Services. If you have enrolled
in online courses or courses at the Regional Campuses, please download and fill
out the Initial Request for Services.
Please return this form to Disability Support Services.
3. Documentation may be brought in to the office, or mailed in
prior to the
appointment. Please see Documentation
Guidelines for more information about
what kind of documentation you will need to be able to provide. If documentation
is sent to Disability Support Services, please complete and return the
Initial Request for Services to our
office.
4. Students should keep in mind that accommodations are not retroactive;
therefore, it is in the student's best interest to provide documentation in a
timely manner and get registered as soon as possible after recognizing that
services may be appropriate.
5. After documentation has been reviewed and accepted, the student
will complete registration forms for disability services. Please keep in mind
that a diagnosis alone does not qualify a student for services. There must be an
indication that due to the impact of what has been diagnosed, the student's
functioning is substantially limited.
6. Once the student has become registered for disability
services, Disability Support Services will send Faculty Notifications to each
of the student's professor to indicate that the student is eligible for
accommodations and to detail what those accommodations are. (Specific disability
information is not disclosed in these notices.)
7. The student should make appointments with each of his or her
professor's to discuss accommodations. If the student does not acknowledge to
his or her professor that the student wants to use their accommodations, the
professor is not obligated to provide the accommodations.
