Documentation Requirements

Documentation Requirements and related Forms

In order for the Office for Students with Disabilities to accommodate students at Valencia Community College, students MUST register with the Office for students with Disabilities. An Intake Form must be completed by the student AND appropriate documentation must be submitted by a doctor and/or a licensed professional to verify the presence and impact of their disability.

Appropriate clinical documentation should substantiate the disability and present evidence to establish a rationale supporting the need for accommodations. A school plan such as an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a 504 plan is insufficient documentation in and of itself but can be included as part of a more comprehensive evaluative report. If the requested accommodations are not clearly identified in the diagnostic report, the Office for Students with Disabilities will seek clarification and, if necessary, more information. The Office for Students with Disabilities will make final determination of whether appropriate and reasonable accommodations are warranted and can be provided to the individual.

For conditions that are subject to change over time (including health related disorders, learning disabilities and psychological disabilities), the student may be asked to provide updated documentation for his/her file on an on-going basis in order for accommodations to be continued.
