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.
Accommodations are approved on a case-by-case basis and sending documentation DOES NOT guarantee accommodation approval. Sometimes documentation is also sent to the Regent’s 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 link that fits your needs and contact us with any questions.
