General guidelines for providing documentation of disability
Students requesting accommodation from Accessibility Resources must provide recent written documentation of a disability, with "recent" generally defined as within three years or less.
This documentation must be from a professional credentialed in the area of disability and should include a formal diagnosis, a summary of any appropriate diagnostic testing and a description of academic limitations specifically related to the disability of the diagnosis. Finally, this documentation of a disability must indicate that the severity of the diagnosis reaches the level of disability.
