• The student must provide documentation of accommodations (if any) provided at previous academic institutions.
• The student must request specific accommodations based on the foregoing information.
• The Representative will meet with faculty in the student’s school or department to determine the appropriateness of the requested accommodation. Deliberations may include other University officials and additional learning disabilities specialists.
