How to Get Started

  1. Students with disabilities who require accommodations should seek assistance at the Disability Resource Center (DRC) Office, Reid Hall 0020 at (352) 392-8565 x200.
  2. Documentation (see documentation requirement links below) should be brought to your appointment. It must be on letterhead, dated, have a diagnosis, and should list recommendations for accommodations.
  3. Students are encouraged to request support services as early as possible. Accommodation letters are only valid for one semester.
  4. Intake appointment
    1. DRC staff member will review documentation
    2. Determination of what accommodations will be provided
    3. DRC staff member will share self-advocacy information and strategies
    4. Provisional status will need to have required documentation in 30 days
  5. DRC will file official documentation including information about the manifestations of the disability. DRC will ensure that disability-related documents are kept confidential and are shared with college personnel on a limited and need to know basis only. Disability documentation will not be released to a third party under any circumstance.
  6. Request Accommodation Letters (AL), which are the student’s way of communicating their individual needs to their instructors. Procedure to request ALs:
    1. Pick up from the DRC desk or download the Accommodated Letter Request Form or use on-line form from Online Services.
    2. Complete form with instructor's names and course numbers.
    3. Return form to the DRC desk.
    4. Pick up letters and personally deliver it to each faculty member during his or her office hours.
    5. This must be done each semester, as accommodation memos are only good for one semester.
