ELIGIBILITY FOR SERVICES

A student is eligible for accommodations if he/she:

·         is qualified for the program(s)

·         is a person with a disability,

·         has identified himself/herself to the University through DS, and

·         has presented appropriate documentation regarding the disability to the University as required by DS (see documentation requirements) and requires accommodation(s).

NOTE:  Accommodations are effective after the student submits appropriate and complete documentation in accordance with DS documentation policies, completes the DS registration, and has presented and discussed the accommodation letter with his/ her instructor or professor (for testing accommodations, the accommodation letter must be presented to the professors at least three business days prior to the examination date).  Accommodations are not retroactive.  Also, documentation required by DS may not be sufficient at other universities or testing agencies nor may documentation from other institutions or agencies be sufficient for accommodations through DS.
