• UM System Policy Related to Students with Disabilities

UM System Policy states that “All students seeking disability-related services and/or accommodations must disclose the presence of a specific disability to [Disability Services].  Before receiving requested services and/or accommodations, the student will be required to provide the [Disability Services] office with current medical or other diagnostic documentation of a disability from a qualified physician or other qualified diagnostician, as well as current documentation of the need for accommodations.”

Do not provide academic accommodations for any student from whom you have not received an official letter of accommodations from the Office of Disability Services. If you do provide these accommodations without this justification you are putting not only you and your department in liability, but the University as well.
