Students with a learning disability often demonstrate either a significant discrepancy between intracognitive abilities, or a significant discrepancy between aptitude and achievement levels. Some characteristics of students with LD are listed below. Certainly, no single student will have all of these difficulties.
Proper documentation is required to receive accommodations.
The Coordinator of Disabled Student Services collects the required documentation. Testing and Diagnosis is not the University's responsibility. Referrals to outside agencies will be made when necessary. The FCS indicates the student's disability and strengths as well as accommodations that may be needed. Students are encouraged to negotiate directly with each professor to develop effective accommodation strategies specific to each course.
