Eligibility

To be eligible for disability-related services, individuals must have a documented disability as defined by section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and/or the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), of 1990. Eligible disabilities include physical and mental impairments which may include but are not limited to vision, hearing, mobility, learning, systemic, psychiatric, and brain injury that substantially limit one or more major life activity. Student Services will request documentation from an appropriate professional to certify individuals as having a disability. The cost of obtaining documentation will be borne by the student. If the initial documentation is incomplete or inadequate to determine the extent of the disability and appropriate accommodations, Student Services has the discretion to require supplemental assessment of a disability. The cost of the supplemental assessment shall also be borne by the student.

Pending receipt of the eligibility documentation, Student Services and/or the Institute reserves the right to deny services and accommodations.
