It is the responsibility of the student
to initiate a request for
accommodations. It is extremely important for
students to contact the accommodations contact person (Diana
Refsell) as early
as possible to arrange for their accommodations. Students who request
accommodations must complete the accommodations paperwork process.
This consists of filling out an information form, signing a release of
information form, providing documentation of disability (ies) from a qualified
professional person/organization (eg., physician, psychiatrist, psychologist,
Veteran’s Administration, Rehabilitation Counselor, Clinic, etc.), and
developing an accommodations plan. Completed accommodations requests are
evaluated as quickly as possible and put in place in a timely manner. |
