Accommodation Approval Agreement
I understand that completing this form is only the initial step in the accommodation process. Once I am registered with NIACC Disability Services, I will need to meet with a Disability Services Counselor each semester to request accommodations and complete Accommodation Letters for Faculty.

I also understand that I am my own advocate. It is my responsibility to request accommodations and to notify instructors of my need for accommodations. It is also my responsibility to report any concerns I may have regarding accommodations to the Disability Services Office.

Documentation of your disability must be provided to the Disability Services office before accommodations will be provided. I realize that I may need additional documentation upon transferring to another educational institution. It is my responsibility to consult with the transfer institution regarding their documentation requirements.
