Such disclosure of need should be done as soon as possible so that the Seminarycan make necessary plans, preferably with at least four weeks notification, as a minimum, requested. For Hamilton students, please complete the Request for Accommodations (RAF) form found at online. For other students, please contact those listed as the appropriate contact. 2. A student having a disability requiring accommodation must provide the Seminary with current and relevant documentation from a specialist certified to diagnose the particular disability. 3. Acceptable sources of documentation for substantiating a student’s disability and request for particular accommodations can take a variety of forms. Please visit our websitefor specifics. 4. Documentation requirements vary by situation. The Disability Services Coordinator (DSC) designated for the campus/program will talk to the student about documentation during the initial conversation. No student should delay meeting with the DSC out of concern for not having appropriate paperwork. 5. Documentation must be submitted prior to the first class for which the student is requesting accommodation. The designated office will keep the documentation in the student's permanent file. 6. A meeting must be scheduled between the student seeking accommodations and the

DSC to explore collaboratively previous educational experiences, past use of accommodations, and what has been effective and ineffective in providing access. 7. The DSC, in consultation with faculty membersand student, will determine reasonable accommodation in each particular case and for each class. A formal Disability

Accommodation Plan will be drafted and disseminated to all necessary parties. 8. Prior to the start of each following semester, the student must contact the DSC in writing to ensure the DAP is shared with the relevant faculty member(s) for each particular class. 9. By the first day of any given class, the student also must notify his or her professor that a disability exists that will require accommodation.
