Accommodations & Disability Support Documentation
A disability, as defined by federal guidelines, is a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more life activities such as walking, hearing, or seeing. A student must self-identify, complete an Application Intake Form for Accomodations & Disability Support, and provide recent documentation of his or her disability to the A&DS office.
Accommodations & Disability Support will facilitate accommodations for students with documented disabilities. New students are encouraged to read the Handbook for Students with Disabilities and to contact the A&DS office following admission to ensure needed accommodations are available at the time of enrollment.
