REQUESTING ACCOMMODATIONS FOR A DISABILITY

Ivy Tech Community College seeks to provide effective services and accommodations for otherwise qualified individuals with documented disabilities.

To request special services or academic accommodations, you must:

1. Contact Disability Support Services at the telephone or address below (No action can be taken without a specific request from the individual needing the assistance.)
2. Complete and return the request form.
3. Provide us with professional documentation of your disability, that:
• describes the disability.
• gives significant support for the accommodations requested.

Documentation of disability and requests for accommodations should be received at least one month prior to the start of each academic term. Additional time is required for some requests.Usual sources for this information include:

• High school education plan and special psychological testing.
• Vocational Rehabilitation evaluation.
• Doctor’s letter or medical records.

If you have questions, please call Disability Support Services at (260) 481-2210.

We want you to succeed at Ivy Tech! Every effort will be made to provide reasonable accommodations in a timely manner. Please allow a reasonable amount of time after we have received all necessary information (approximately one week) for us to professionally evaluate and respond to your needs.
