General Registration Information

Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to contact the Office to register as a person with a disability. Services are available only to individuals who are registered and have submitted appropriate documentation. Individuals can register for services throughout the semester, however, students are strongly encouraged to review requests for accommodations with the Office at the beginning of each semester. Once a person has registered with the Office, they collaborate with the Office staff in the development of their Individualized Accommodation Plan.

 

Three Step Registration Process

1. Students who wish to register with the Office for reasonable accommodations must complete three registration forms: OASID New Student Registration Form, Disability Documentation Form and the Emergency Response Notification Form.

2. Students must submit medical or clinical documentation that supports the disability.

• Medical documentation should include a suggested duration if the medical disability is temporary.

• Clinical documentation in support of a learning disability should be aged no more than five years and should be based on an evaluation completed for the individual as an adult.

• Clinical documentation for ADD or ADHD should not be aged more than 3 years and should be based on an evaluation completed for the individual as an adult.

• Clinical documentation for a psychiatric disability should be aged no more than 1 year and should be based on an evaluation completed for the individual as an adult.

3. Students must meet with the Director of the Office to review forms and documentation, to discuss previously received services and to develop an Individual Accommodation Plan (IAP) that outlines the reasonable accommodations that will support the students' academic endeavors here at Teachers College.
