Steps to Register as a Student with a Disability

Directions and Checklist:

Date completed: ________________

1. ________ Complete the Student Application for Disability Services Form (the pink card). Once complete, either mail the card to our offices or drop it off in person.
    
2. ________ Print a copy of the Documentation Guidelines for YOUR disability. Give the guidelines to your appropriate medical provider. The guidelines will assist the provider in writing your documentation. Once you have your documentation, submit it to our office. You may submit the documentation by mail, fax, or by bringing it to our office. *What does “documentation” mean? It is very important that you view our Documentation Guidelines and print them for your medical provider. Many students assume that “documentation” means medical records, but it does not. Documentation usually consists of a medical doctor’s letter and/or a psychoeducational evaluation, but may vary by category of disability.
    
3.  ________ Once we have received both the Student Application for Disability Services form (pink card) AND your documentation, we will mail you a letter updating you on the status of your file.
    
4. ________ After your documentation has been reviewed, a follow up letter will inform you of the status of your application. In some cases additional documentation will be needed.
    
5. ________ If your application is complete and your status as a documented student with a disability has been confirmed you will be asked to stop into our office the first week of classes to pick up your letters of introduction for faculty and to review your accommodations and procedures.
