Applying for Services

The student must demonstrate through appropriate documentation that their disorder or impairment meets the definition of a disability under Title II of the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) of 2088 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. A disability is defined as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.
