Documentation
Documentation of the disability by the appropriate licensed professional is required by the Student Disability Resources staff in order to receive reasonable accommodation at Iowa State University. If the disability has changed or fluctuates in intensity, then an up-date of the condition, for which students are financially responsible, may be requested to determine necessary accommodations. Without documentation Student Disability Resources staff cannot request or provide accommodations. Student Disability Resources uses the following forms to help students obtain their accommodations, update their documentation, release information and secure services.
The Student Disability Resources assists students who have a disability by reviewing documentation supplied by licensed professionals and by writing the SAAR (Student Academic Accommodation Request).
Student Disability Resources is not responsible for providing documentation or securing your accommodations. Please feel free to reference the Department of Education Office of Civil Rights for more information.
