If I know or suspect I have a disability, how do I receive services?
If I suspect I have a disability, what do I do?
What types of services are available for students with disabilities?
Regarding my disability, what will I need to do differently in college?
In high school, it was your parents' and your school officials’ responsibility to determine your needs and to make sure you received the proper services and accommodations. In college, it becomes YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to seek out services since no one will approach you about your disability. It is up to you to contact the Coordinator of Accessibility Resources and not simply inform your instructors of your disability. Steps to take:
- Self-identify by informing the Coordinator of Accessibility Resources.
- Provide appropriate documentation as determined by the Coordinator of Accessibility Resources.
- Be proactive. Self-advocate. Inform the Coordinator of Accessibility Resources and your instructors if there is a problem with your accommodations.
How confidential is the information regarding my disability?
