If you suspect you have a disability that is impacting your academic performance, you will need to provide documentation of that disability to the 无障碍设施办事处 (ACCESS). This documentation must be supplied by a qualified professional who is licensed or certified to diagnose the disability in question. An appointment ACCESS to discuss your potential need for services and to gather resource and referral information.

大学s are required to provide any reasonable accommodation that may be necessary for equal access to education. They are not required to design special programs for students with disabilities or have Individualized Educational Plans (IEP’s).

在大学, students with disabilities are covered under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). IDEA不再适用. 既然是这样，法律义务就改变了. 大学里没有特殊的教育. 大学不需要寻找残疾学生. It is the student's responsibility to seek out services through the 无障碍设施办事处.

年满18岁的学生在法律上被认为是成年人. 在这种情况下, the student is responsible for his or her own accommodation requests and disability-related decisions. 然而，我们鼓励学生与父母进行开诚布公的对话. 父母是一个很好的支持来源.

学生 with physical disabilities are encouraged to register with the 无障碍设施办事处 every semester so that the office can help them with access to buildings and other university activities. ACCESS与设施服务部门合作，维护无障碍校园.
