Guidelines for Documentation of a Physical
or Psychiatric Disability
Students at Lenoir-Rhyne College who are requesting special
accommodations on the basis of a physical or psychiatric disability must
submit appropriate documentation of the disability. Decisions
regarding eligibility for reasonable accommodations can be reached only
after appropriate documentation of the diagnosis and supporting data are
on file with the college.
- Students must submit a written statement from a
licensed physician or licensed therapist describing the disability.
- This
statement MUST include: diagnosis, treatment plan, limitations
caused by the disability, possible medical complications, and
prognosis for improvement.
- The
documentation should list associated lab, and test data, when
appropriate.
- Documentation
must also include recommendations by the physician or therapist
concerning SPECIFIC accommodations that may be needed for
housing and classroom/academic activities here at Lenoir-Rhyne
College. (Justification for each recommended accommodation must be
included if not evident in the information listed in #1.)
All submitted documentation will be kept
confidential.
Please submit documentation and/or inquiries to:
