Accommodative Services will consider all documentation submitted. Documentation will assist in understanding how the disability impacts the student in an academic setting and the current impact of the disability as it relates to the accommodations requested. Reviewing documentation is a collaborative process and is handled on a case-to-case basis. Once documentation is received, it will be reviewed in order of receipt; therefore, it is recommended that documentation be submitted well in advance of any accommodation related needs. After reviewing the documentation you will be contacted to set up an intake appointment.
We recognize some students may not have access to documentation for a variety of reasons. Students who do not have documentation may still submit a request form and schedule a meeting. Requests for documentation will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
NOTE: Students who have readily observable disabilities (e.g. wheelchair user, white cane user, arm in sling) may not need to submit documentation. We ask that you contact the office via email at OAS@potsam.edu , 315-267-3267, or stop by the office, to schedule a meeting.
The Office of Accommodative Services Documentation Guidelines webpage outlines different types of documentation.
