General Guidelines
Each student request is unique, and our documentation guidelines provide a general overview of the information our coordinators require when reviewing these unique requests.
SAS will review any third-party documentation provided, including any recommendations for accommodations that may help us determine how best to assure equal access for the student. Documentation is most beneficial when it provides specific diagnoses with insight into how a disability impacts various academic experiences (testing, reading, etc.). When the recommendations are for support to enhance success or are considered outside the scope of what is necessary for equal access, the student will be referred to other resources and or given options that may be able to address the specific need.
Please note that you should not delay meeting with us out of concern for not having the right paperwork. Each coordinator will discuss specific third-party documentation needs during the Welcome Meeting and steps you can take after the meeting. Our first priority is meeting with you, not reviewing the paperwork.
