- It is the student’s responsibility to initiate the process for disability services.
- Student requesting accommodations must complete a request form (Academic or Housing)
- Students must obtain appropriate documentation which establishes the need for an accommodation and relates the current impact of the disability to the requested accommodation.
- Upon receipt of the appropriate documentation and the complete request form (Academic or Housing), the request will be reviewed for eligibility. Additional information may subsequently be requested if necessary.
- Decisions pertaining to reasonable accommodations will be made by the Office of Student Disability Services, in consultation with academic program representatives and/or other university administrators.
- Written notification of approved accommodations will be provided. Students may then notify faculty of the accommodations that have been approved, unless otherwise specified.
- In order to ensure that reasonable accommodations can be provided in a timely manner, all forms and documentation should be received and on file in the Office of Student Disability Services at least four (4) weeks prior to the commencement of classes for any given semester.
- If a student disagrees with the proposed accommodations, they have the right to appeal the decision. Additional information on the appeal process can be found in the NSU Student Handbook.
