Appropriate documentation for students with diagnosed disabilities will be kept on file in the Student Academic Support Services office. The student is responsible for making a specific request to the professor of each class in which accommodations are needed. In order to receive testing accommodations, the student must provide the required documentation for the disability in a timely manner to the Student Academic Support Services Office and must comply with the procedures for accommodations that have been described in this handbook.

The student will be given a personalized letter from Student Academic Support Services acknowledging the existence of the student's disability and stating the name and contact information of the student's Comprehensive Advisor. The student may share this letter with the professor of the class for which accommodations are being requested. The Comprehensive Advisor will work to coach each student to become a self-advocate in describing the need for accommodations. The professor may contact the student's Comprehensive Advisor as a resource in providing effective strategies that may enhance the learning process, or to verify the basis of the accommodation request.
