STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
Students desiring accommodations because of a documented learning or psychological disability must have been
diagnosed as having that disability by a physician within the last three years. After the student's disability has
been diagnosed, the student must contact the Dean of Students Office if he/she requests academic
accommodation. Documentation of the disability is required. The Dean of Students Office will provide the
student with a Student Academic Accommodation Request (SAAR) form. The request form spells out the specific
accommodation that is being requested of the instructor. The student is responsible for requesting services,
meeting with the instructor, completing and returning the form.
It is the student’s responsibilities to:
1) Self-identify and disclose by contacting Student Disability Resources staff.
2) Provide up-to-date and complete documentation of disability to Student Disability Resources
staff.
3) Meet with Student Disabilities Resources staff to identify reasonable accommodations.
4) Complete Student Academic Accommodation Request (SAAR) form(s).
5) Return signed SAAR form(s) to Student Disabilities Resources Office.
6) Abide by student code of conduct set by the University.
7) Maintain academic standards set by the college.
