Requesting Services
The college has the right to request documentation of the temporary disability from the student's private physician prior to the provision of the service. A Verification of Temporary Disability form can be obtained from the Access office.
The Access office will respond to requests in a timely manner. Advance notice of need assures the student that the services will be provided.
