Documentation

July 11, 2018

In general, documentation should include the following information:

(1) The credentials of the evaluator

(2)  Diagnosis, and a description of the current impact of the condition, particularly as it relates to academics, housing or food service

(3)  What major life activity (e.g., walking, seeing, hearing, breathing, self-care) does the condition substantially limit?

(4)  Treatments/medications/devices or resources currently prescribed (name of medication and dose) and their potential impact on the condition

(5)  Recommended accommodations (and in what ways would the requested accommodation(s) mitigate the impact of the condition?)

Accommodations can only be made with appropriate documentation and following a meeting with the Center for Disability Resources staff. Students are encouraged to meet with the Center for Disability Resources within the first two weeks of each semester to ensure timely accommodations. Any accommodations or services provided will be in effect only after final documentation review of the disability is completed. Grades which have already been posted on exams, papers, projects or in overall classes cannot be changed.

If you have a question regarding the required documentation or need information about a disability which is not listed, please contact the Center for Disability Resources staff at 651-696-6974
