and eligibility for services before any services are provided. Typical documentation should be by a qualified
individual in the field of your disability (physician, psychologist or psychiatrist). Specific documentation
guidelines are identified further in this handbook.

Needs Assessment Form to what accommodations are granted. The student will be responsible to initiate the
accommodative services by having the Accommodation Request form completed.
