Working with Student Disability Services

We know there are many factors involved in making an informed college choice. Our staff is available to help you with your decision. Though we cannot discuss your specific needs until you have officially accepted an offer of admission to the University, we are happy to answer general questions about campus resources at anytime.

Getting Started

Once you have accepted an offer of admission from the University, you may formally apply for services from our office. To start the process, please send us a Request for Services and Documentation Review. You can download a copy here.

We also need information about your disability from your healthcare provider. For further information about this process, see Documentation Guidelines.

These materials provide our staff with information about your experiences, needs, and previous academic accommodations. A Student Disability Services staff member will review your file and send you a letter to let you know if you are eligible for services.

Confidentiality

Information provided to our office is considered confidential. It will only be released with the signed consent of the student or the student's legal guardian. On rare occasions when the welfare of the student or another individual is concerned, a staff member may elect to disclose information without consent. Our staff makes every effort to follow federal guidelines designed to protect student privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

We know you will have questions for our staff. As a start, we've put together a Frequently Asked Questions page with answers to some of the questions we hear most often. We encourage you to read this page and then contact us if you need more information.
