Required Documents
Please bring current (within the past two years) copies of medical, educational and/or psychological records to your meeting with the counselor. Alternatively you may have your records released and forwarded to the counselor.
Documentation on file for the student should include the following:
- A diagnosis of the physical, mental, or emotional impairment that may qualify as a disability,
- a description how the diagnosis was reached,
- the credentials of the professional making the diagnosis,
- a description of current functional limitations and how the diagnosis affects a major life activity,
- how the disability currently affects academic performance,
- a description of current and past accommodations, assistive technology, medications, and other aids or support services, and
- prognosis and expected functional impacts over time.
While an Individual Education Program (IEP) may help identify effective services, it is not considered sufficient documentation for accommodations.
