• The date of the diagnosis.
• How the diagnosis was reached, including any testing/evaluative instruments used, the scores attained, and any interpretation of what the scores mean.
• How your disability affects a major life activity.
• How the disability affects your academic performance.
• Any available history concerning your disability.
• Recommendations of appropriate academic adjustments and/or accommodations.
• The credentials of the professional making the diagnosis.

2. Arrange an appointment at É«É«À²'s Disability Services for Students.

The Disability Services for Students does not contact professors on a student's behalf. Once classes have begun and you know what is expected of you from each professor, request accommodation letters from the center to give to the professors.
