The Disability Resources office determines reasonable and appropriate accommodations for students with documented disabilities. To register with the office and request accommodations, you will need to complete a “New Student Application.”
Once completed, you will need to upload supporting documentation from a qualified care provider. You may also email (disability@case.edu) or fax (+1 216.368.8826) your documentation. Documentation can be one of the following:
- the Accommodation Request Form
- the Emotional Support Animal Form
- a letter on official letterhead outlining:
- Diagnosis of the disability and a prognosis indicating the current status of the disorder as well as the expectation for the stability of the condition. Any psychological or physical test data relevant to the diagnosis should be included.
- An explanation of the nature of the physical or mental impairment and its impact on any major life activity. How does the disability diagnosis limit the major life activities of the student as it pertains to participation in academics and other aspects of campus life including residential housing?
- Recommendations regarding academic/housing accommodations with the rationale as to why these accommodations, adjustments and/or services are warranted based upon the student’s functional limitations to provide equal access.
Please note: Disability Resources cannot accept prescription pad notes as sole documentation. Due to their brevity, these do not provide Disability Resources with the information they require.
