If you suspect you qualify for academic accommodations in college or graduate school you should contact the academic dean’s office to obtain additional information. Most colleges at the university level have a Center for Students with Disabilities that will help guide you through this process.

Typically universities will require documentation showing that you participated in a recent educational or neuropsychological assessment. This evaluation may require specific tests and usually includes evaluations to include the following information: disability and providing recommendations. If you have never had a neuropsychological evaluation or do not have a recent assessment you will usually need to undergo neuropsychological/educational testing. Some colleges will allow provisional accommodations while students are being evaluated but to avoid a gap in services students should plan accordingly.
