Registering with the Accessible Education Center
According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a disability is a physical
or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities,
such as caring for one's self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing,
speaking, breathing, learning and working. In order to receive assistance from ODS,
the student must have a documented disability.
Students seeking to register with the Accessible Education Center must provide disability-related
documentation from an appropriate licensed professional (details of documentation
requirements are provided to each student by Accessible Education Center and available
on the Documentation Guidelines tab).
The submitted disability-related documentation should clearly identify the nature
of the disability, as well the effects of the disability on a student's daily functioning.
This documentation will allow the Accessible Education Center staff to determine appropriate
and reasonable academic adjustment/auxiliary aids. After submitting the documentation
(whether adequate or inadequate), Accessible Education Center will contact the student
to either schedule an appointment/interview or request additional information.
