Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to contact the office to register as a person with a disability. Services are available only to individuals who are registered and have submitted appropriate documentation. Individuals can register for services throughout the semester; however, students are strongly encouraged to review requests for accommodations with the office at the beginning of each semester. Once an individual has registered with the office, he or she collaborates with either the OASID director or the program director of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services in the development of an Individualized Accommodation Plan.
