Part II Part III Part IV Ferris State University maintains the Office of Disabilities Services to provide accommodations for students with special needs. Disabilities Services is the campus office responsible for determining and providing requested academic accommodations for students with disabilities. A variety of support services are provided to students with documented mobility limitations, learning disabilities, hearing and visual disabilities, attention deficit disorders, psychological disabilities, and other types of disabilities. Information, reasonable accommodation and counseling are offered to students.
Professional development is offered to faculty and staff.
In order for Disabilities Services to determine a student's eligibility for services, all students must complete the Intake Interview Form with the Educational Counselor for Students with Disabilities and present appropriate documentation. Students with hearing disabilities must provide a Speech and Hearing Evaluation or a Physician Statement of a Long-Term Disability Form that was completed within three years of the date of application to Ferris State University's Disabilities Services. Students with learning disabilities are required to submit documentation to verify their eligibility under Ferris' Policy on Education of Students with Disabilities. Students with a physical disability must provide a Physician's Statement of Long-Term Disability form. Both the university and the CLS programs are eager to help all students succeed.
