Details of a disability will be provided to faculty only upon written release by the student. Students have a right to participate in all University activities provided they can perform what are considered essential aspects of the activity or program. Students with disabilities have the responsibility to maintain academic standards and follow procedures established by the University. Students have the responsibility to make their needs known to Disability Services in order to be considered for reasonable accommodations. After their needs are determined, students are expected to communicate with administrators and faculty any accommodations which are needed to participate in University activities.
Students have a responsibility to provide documentation.
Students are responsible for providing the University with documentation describing the status of their disabilities and the nature of needed accommodations. Such documentation should come from an appropriate professional or qualified individual and should be dated no earlier than three years prior to enrollment. Students have a responsibility to make accommodation requests in a timely fashion. When possible, it is imperative that students initiate the process well before the beginning of the semester in which services are requested. Failure to do so may result in unfortunate delays.
