Guidelines for Student Requests for Reasonable Accommodation on the Basis of a Learning Disability
2. A newly accepted or currently enrolled student whose learning disability requires reasonable accommodation may make a request for accommodation at any time. Because the arrangements for some accommodations take a significant amount of time, the student should make a request as early as possible. 3. To be considered as a student with a learning disability under the law, the individual is responsible to provide relevant written documentation that substantiates his or her claim.
Reservation of the Right to Modify
The programmatic and financial information herein are to be considered directive in character and not as an irrevocable contract between the student and the College.

1. Students are responsible for identifying themselves to the director of the Learning and Academic Advising Center as having a learning disability requiring reasonable accommodation. Even when parents are involved in requesting services, it is primarily the student’s responsibility to initiate the request.
