Understanding Your Needs and Developing a Plan

Our goal is to understand how your disability affects you in daily life, so we can work together to create an effective accommodation plan that gives you equal access to the University. Your experiences, personal history, and perspective are important to us, and we encourage you to share as much as you feel comfortable. Any documentation or information you can provide will help guide this process while we complete our interactive intake meeting.

Examples of Helpful Documentation or Information:

• Educational records (e.g., IEP, 504 Plan)
• Neuropsychological or educational evaluations
• Statements from healthcare, mental health, or service providers
  (Feel free to share our [Statement Guidelines (PDF)] with your provider for reference)
• Medical records
• Audiology reports
• Vision assessments
• Vocational assessments
• Proof of accommodations used on standardized tests (e.g., SAT, ACT)
• SDS Disability Assessment Form (see below for the appropriate version)

Please note: This list is not exhaustive—other types of documentation may also be helpful.

Students may file a Discrimination Complaint with the Director of Equal Opportunity and Title IX Compliance at any time if the student believes that NDSU’s faculty or staff discriminated against the student on the basis of disability. Information on Accessibility and Discrimination can be found on the NDSU Opportunity and Title IX Compliance webpage or the student may contact them directly via email (ndsu.eoaa@ndsu.edu) or phone (701-231-7708).
