DISABILITY SERVICES PROGRAM

Records and Confidentiality

Records:

The Counseling Center requests disability-related documents from an appropriate licensed professional to certify a student as having a disability and to determine appropriate accommodations. If the initial documentation is incomplete or inadequate to determine the extent of the disability and appropriate accommodation, the college has the discretion to require additional documentation. Records which verify the student’s disability are maintained and stored within the Counseling Center.

Confidentiality of information:

TheCounseling Center will maintain files of official documentation of disability. This information is considered confidential information. The Counseling Center will only communicate the existence of a disability and the need for accommodation when the student has provided written permission allowing the disclosure of that information.
