Disability-Related Accommodations

Concordia University Policy on the Provision of Accommodations for Students with Documented Disabilities

Policy:
Concordia University will provide, upon receipt and review of appropriate documentation from competent and licensed professionals, reasonable and effective accommodations to students with disabilities in an effort to equalize the student's abilities at the post secondary level, in a manner consistent with federal and state regulations.

Limitations:
The role of Concordia University in this process is limited to reviewing documentation prepared by outside medical doctors, licensed clinical or counseling psychologists, and licensed school psychologists. Concordia University will not diagnose, certify, define, or otherwise determine that a particular student does or does not have a disability of any type. Concordia University will, however, assist any student who feels that he or she may have a disability with finding an appropriate, licensed professional who can provide diagnostic services.
