- Documentation must include:
* Diagnosis
* How diagnosis constitutes a disability
* Impairment of major life activities
* Functional limitations
* Temporary or permanent disability
- Once documentation is reviewed by the Coordinator of Disability Services, you will be contacted for an intake appointment
- You will leave the intake appointment with letters to provide your instructors of your approved accommodations for the semester*
*Note: You need to update your accommodation letter EVERY semester.
