DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES

Accommodations for Students With Disabilities

Students with disabilities may consult with Student Affairs before or during their active enrollment at CNU. New students, especially new freshmen, will want to contact the office well before beginning their first semester if accommodations are required. Students who request accommodations by the university must formally declare their disability by completing a form obtained from Student Affairs. A follow up meeting with the student disability support specialist is recommended.

Documentation Guidelines

Appropriate documentation will assist the student and the university in determining reasonable accommodations as stipulated under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and other pertinent state and federal regulations. For individuals who have recently been receiving services from a public school system, the information requested would most likely be contained in the psycho-educational evaluation from your most recent triennial review. Some of the information may also be contained in an IEP, 504 Plan or Transition Plan. However, IEPs, 504 Plans and Transition Plans alone are usually insufficient documentation.
