Naropa University does not have a facility that provides diagnostic testing or staff who provide diagnosis for accommodations.Students are responsible for attaining diagnostic documentation and the expense associated.Students must submit diagnostic documentation as part of the accommodation application process. Because accommodations cannot be applied retroactively, we strongly recommend students acquire documentation prior to the start of the semester or as early as they become aware of a disability.Students can read below to understand what documentation is needed, whom to get it from, and how to acquire it. Students who already have documentation can read on to make sure their documentation meets the requirements.This information is to help guide students to find the most affordable and time-efficient path.Note: always call or email your intended provider to ask the office staff if they can diagnose the type of condition(s) you have to save you time and money.Psychological ConditionsIf you have a more common condition such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder or Depression a general Medical Doctor (MD) can diagnose and provide documentation for these. Not all MDs are experienced or comfortable making complex psychological diagnosis. If you have a more complex mental health condition such as Bi-Polar, CPTSD, OCD, or Autism see a psychologist who specializes in diagnosing these conditions.Physical ConditionsIf you have mobility limitations, you may have diagnostic paperwork from your General Practitioner (MD, PA, LNP, etc.), Physical or Occupational Therapist, Orthopedic Doctor, or even a Pediatric Doctor if you are recently out of high school.If you have disability benefits form the VA, Social Security Administration, etc. these documentation letters may meet the documentation requirements listed below.Medical ConditionsIf you have Seizures, Auto Immune Disease, blindness, or loss of hearing, a Medical Doctor, Ophthalmologist, or Audiologist may have to diagnose you. Since these conditions sometimes require various tests to diagnose, it is imperative that you have your health care provider write the letter with the requirements you will see below. The Accessibility Resources staff is not legally able to interpret test results. This is why Naropa requires that the healthcare provider make the diagnosis of disability to apply for accommodations.
