Students are responsible for the costs associated with obtaining documentation.
The recommendations should be supported by the diagnosis. Documentation of disability should be current, preferably in the last three years, and should include the relative stability of the present condition. If presently in treatment, documentation should include an update on the status of the disability and the impact of the student's functioning in the academic environment. Professionals conducting diagnostic studies and rendering diagnosis must be qualified to do so. The diagnostician should be impartial and not a family member.
