DSS will assist students who are in need of accommodations in and\u00a0<\/span>outside of the classroom.

 <\/p>\n

Procedure<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Submit a copy of your current disability documentation from your doctor or diagnostician.\u00a0 Once your documentation has been received, it will be reviewed by AUA Counselor to determine the most appropriate support services.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 The student is responsible to have an evaluation by a professional and present this documentation to the\u00a0Counselor.\u00a0 Currently, no evaluation services are available on campus.\u00a0 AUA does not endorse any specific clinic or professional.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The Counselor will contact you to let you know that we have reviewed your documentation and will contact you about the next steps in securing support services.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Before classes begin, please schedule an appointment.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. During the appointment, the Counselor will discuss with you the accommodations you are eligible to receive based upon your disability related functional limitations. You will be asked to share information about how your disability affects your ability to access the classroom, class materials and campus services and to describe the accommodations and services you have used in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please note that the information regarding student’s disability will not be released to any faculty, staff, or administration without student’s consent.\u00a0 The waiver form must be completed by the student applying for accommodation and student will receive support based on this agreement.\u00a0 Records will not be released without written consent by the student and will be destroyed when student completes their studies.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
