DISABILITY RESOURCES AT COLLEGE
(last update Thu, Sep 6, 2007)

What is my responsibility in order to receive accommodations?

Most important is you should come to college with the needed documentation

Accommodations  Who’s Responsibility
Identify disability  Student
Evaluation (re-evaluation)  Student
IEP process Not available
Special designed instruction Not available
Identifying accommodations Student and College
Arranging accommodations Student and College
Coordinating agency support  Student
Related services  Not related

Once accommodations are determined, the student often arranges the implementation details with professors. If accommodations are not effective, it is the student’s responsibility to work with the disability service office to find a solution.

What types of services may I expect at college?

Services are individually determined by the documentation you provide and meeting with the your disabilities service provider. These are some examples of services provided at colleges and universities. The college you choose may have more or fewer services so check.
