Appropriate documentation includes a statement of diagnosis, how the diagnosed problem impacts your ability to learn, and suggests accommodations in order to validate your request for academic accommodations. Documentation must be current and by a qualified health professional, such as a physician, audiologist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or neuropsychologist.
Think you have a disability, but never been evaluated? Contact a qualified licensed provider in your insurance’s network or email tds@augusta.edu for referral information.
*TDS does not test or evaluate students for disabilities in our office but we can help you with referrals and steps to get tested.*
We have created the forms below to help you understand the University System of Georgia’s documentation guidelines. Among other things, we need to know your diagnosis, current functional limitations, how long you’ve had them, and how long they’ll last.
Just because you’ve sent us documentation DOES NOT guarantee accommodation approval.
Sometimes documentation is also sent to the Regents’ Center for Learning Disorders (RCLD) for additional review or we need to check-in with a university department. We strive to have decisions made as quickly as possible, however; usually within two weeks of request. For more information, click the explanation link that fits your needs and contact us with any questions.
*These explanations are used to help students with the understanding for required documents. Filling the above documents out will not meet the documentation requirement for accommodations.
