Documentation Guidelines for Title IX-
Verification of referral from the Title IX Office is required for accommodations related to pregnancy, parenting, related conditions, and/or other general Title IX supports. No further documentation is required.
Documentation Guidelines for ARO-
Provide the ARO with support documentation. Documentation should provide proof of diagnosis that meets the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. Where applicable, documentation should also include information related to any prior accommodations that the student has received.
Examples of support documentation you may submit:
- IEP/504 Plan
- Psycho-educational or neuropsychological evaluation
- Letter from a healthcare provider, on office letterhead, that indicates the student’s diagnosis
- Patient diagnostic summary
Helpful Information
It is important, but not required, that the support documentation includes information that can assist us in determining the best accommodations and support services that you may need. Some helpful information includes:
- Information about the impact that disability may have on one or more major life activities
- The impact of the disability in the academic setting
- What accommodations that the provider recommends to best support the student in the academic setting
- Treatment that is currently being provided
If you do not have access to documentation, have never received accommodations, or you are seeking a referral for an evaluation, contact us at ARO@plattsburgh.edu for support and guidance.
