Accommodation Eligibility

To be eligible for accessibility services you must provide current medical documentation from a healthcare professional, like your family doctor, that confirms a permanent or temporary disability. The documentation must also explain how the disability-related symptoms/functional limitations impact your learning and performance in the college setting. RRC Polytech recognizes various types of disabilities that may occur among college students.

These include, but are not limited to:

• Acquired Brain Injury
• Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Autism Spectrum Disorders
• Blind and Low Vision
• Deaf and Hard of Hearing
• Intellectual Disabilities
• Medical Disability
• Mental Health Disability (e.g., Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder)
• Physical or Mobility Disability
• Specific Learning Disorders (learning disabilities)
• Temporary Medical Condition (e.g., concussion, injury)

If you are a student with a disability, please refer to the Documentation Guide for specific requirements of the documentation you need to provide to Student Accessibility Services.

Remember that you have the responsibility of providing us with the information we need in order to best assist you. After all, you are the expert on yourself!
