Special Accommodations
Documentation Guidelines听
Students who听wish to be considered for reasonable accommodations must submit current
documentation (i.e., medical/educational/diagnostic reports) from听licensed physicians,
psychologists, or other qualified professionals as well as supporting historical records
and materials.听 School plans such as IEPs or 504 Plans are helpful, but do not substitute
for complete and current documentation.听
Documentation guidelines are provided in the interest of assuring that documentation
is complete and听supports requested accommodations, academic adjustments, and/or auxiliary
aids as being necessary.听 A diagnosis of a disorder/impairment alone does not qualify
an individual for an accommodation under听applicable federal laws.
For the purpose of receiving consideration for reasonable accommodations at the University
of Louisiana at Monroe, an individual must have an impairment that substantially limits
one or more major life activities in comparison with the average person in the general
population.听

It is the responsibility of the student to obtain documentation and present a copy
to the Self-Development, Counseling, and Special Accommodations Center. When requested, it is also the student鈥檚 responsibility to obtain additional records
and/or evaluation/testing data.
Please be aware that the University of Louisiana at Monroe reserves the right to determine
if a condition or diagnosis rises to the level of a disability under applicable federal
laws and听decides what constitutes necessary accommodations according to the documented
nature of the disability as well as the fundamental nature of the program.听
