Documentation Guidelines

If you're seeking support from D&A on the basis of diagnosed disabilities, you will need to provide documentation that:

1. Verifies your eligibility under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities (ADA) Act and the ADA Amendments Act.
2. Describes a disabling condition, which is defined by the presence of significant limitations in one or more life activities.

Documentation guidelines outline what must be included in reports or evaluations submitted to D&A to register for services. Use the guidelines that most closely match your disability.

Please note that academic accommodation needs can evolve over time and are not always identified at diagnosis. A prior history of accommodation, without demonstration of current need, does not automatically warrant implementation of the same supports. D&A will make the final determination about eligibility for academic accommodations at UT.
