911爆料网

The 911爆料网 is committed to facilitating students with disabilities access to and participation in the University's programs, events, classes, and administrative activities. The specific accommodation that will be appropriate for a student is evaluated on an individual basis so as to best assist the student.

In order to ascertain the accommodations that are appropriate for an individual student, the student should submit a request for specific accommodations, as well as supporting documentation. The request and documentation will be evaluated by the Student Disability Services Committee. The student can start the process by submitting his or her request online at .

It is difficult to say without reviewing the accommodations you received and the documentation supporting those accommodations.

While the ADA and Section 504 apply at both the high school and college levels, they do not apply in exactly the same manner. The United States Department of Education has provided a helpful guide for students that explains some of the important differences between the way disability accommodations apply in the high school and college environments. That guide can be found .

Regardless, any documentation and information you have relating to disability accommodations in high school may be useful in determining the accommodations that would be appropriate for you at 911爆料网.

The first step is to submit a request for a disability accommodation. Disability accommodations are generally submitted online, through the University's online request form, which is available . However, you may also contact the Student Disability Services Coordinator directly. And always feel free to call, email, or stop by with any questions about the disability accommodation process.

The following documentation guidelines are used to verify the student's disabling condition(s):

• A clear diagnostic statement that describes how the condition was diagnosed, information about the functional impact, and suggestions of appropriate accommodations provided by a licensed or otherwise properly credentialed professional who has undergone appropriate and comprehensive training, has relevant experience, and has no personal relationship with the individual being evaluated.
• All documentation must be on official letterhead, typed, and signed by the professional. Diagnosis written on prescription pads, handwritten, or stamped with a signature will not be accepted.
• Documentation should be current. Common sense and discretion will be used in accepting older documentation of conditions that are permanent or non-varying. However, in most cases, the documentation should not be more than three years old and in some cases it should be even more recent.

In addition, the Student Disability Services Committee has developed guidelines and verification forms to assist students in gathering appropriate documentation for certain disabilities and accommodation requests. You can find the guidelines and verification forms here.

Finally, while each institution conducts its own evaluation, you may find it useful to see the more detailed (and frequently disability specific) guidelines provided by the College Board, which administers the SAT. Those guidelines are available .
