Registering with the Accessible Education Center
According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a disability is a physical
or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities,
such as caring for one's self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing,
speaking, breathing, learning and working. In order to receive assistance from the
Accessible Education Center, the student must have a documented disability.
Students seeking to register with the AEC must provide disability-related documentation
from an appropriate licensed professional (details of documentation requirements are
provided to each student by the AEC and available on the Documentation Guidelines
page).
The submitted disability-related documentation should clearly identify the nature
of the disability, as well the effects of the disability on a student's daily functioning.
This documentation will allow the AEC staff to determine appropriate and reasonable
academic adjustment/auxiliary aids. After submitting the documentation (whether adequate
or inadequate), the AEC will contact the student to either schedule an appointment/interview
or request additional information.
