DOCUMENTATION

The OSS will not arrange for accommodations for a student with a disability unless the student requests them and provides verifying documentation of his or her disability. Students with physical disabilities, visual impairments or hearing impairments must submit documentation from a physician that verifies the disability. Students with learning disabilities must submit a full psycho-educational report by a licensed psychologist or appropriate professional. Students with psychological disabilities must submit documentation from a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist. All documentation should include:

• A diagnostic statement including date of most recent evaluation.
• The current impact of (or limitations imposed by) the condition.
• Treatments, medications, devices or services currently prescribed or used to minimize the impact of the condition.
• The expected duration, stability, or progressing of the condition.
• Recommended accommodations.

Although an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or Section 504 Plan may help identify services that have been effective for a student in high school, these documents do not constitute documentation of a disability and are generally not sufficient to establish college accommodation eligibility.
