Eligibility Process

How the Process Works

1)  Request Accommodations and Submit documentation 

• Complete the Accommodation Request form. 
• Attach your documentation to the Accommodation Request Form. 
• Types of Documentation: Documentation may include assessments, reports, or letters from qualified evaluators, professionals, or institutions such as IEP, 504 Plan, or Psychological Evaluation. For more information. 
  • Please see the Accessibility Services Documentation Guide. 
  • If Documentation submitted is insufficient you will be contacted within 10 days and asked to submit a Disability Verifcation Form completed by a healthcare provider.

2) Intake Meeting

• The purpose of the intake meeting is to learn from the student, what functional limitations they are experiencing and what accommodations they are requesting. 
• The Accessibility Services Coordinator will contact the student to schedule an intake meeting once forms have been submitted. 
• This interactive process allows us to work together to determine the most reasonable accommodations for the student. 

3) Evaluation of Eligibility

• Accessibility Coordinator will evaluate all materials, consulting with appropriate offices to determine reasonable accommodations. 

4) Student Notification of Accommodations 

• Students will be notified by email within 10 working days of the intake meeting.

Important Details

• Deadlines Matter! Submit requests on time to ensure accommodations can be arranged for the upcoming semester. Requests submitted after the deadline cannot be guaranteed for the current semester.
• Accommodations cannot be applied retroactively; therefore, this entire eligibility process must be completed prior the implementation of requested accommodations. 
• It is the responsibility of the student to provide information that verifies that the student’s condition meets the definition of a disability as defined by applicable laws.
