Applying for Disability Resources services/accommodations is a three-part process:


1. Submit your documentation to Disability Resources.


2. Disability Resources staff will evaluate documentation and determine eligibility (evaluation process can take up to four weeks).


3. Once you receive a letter of eligibility, call or come in to make an appointment with a Disability Resources coordinator to activate your services/accommodations.

IMPORTANT: It may take up to four weeks to review and/or process your documentation. Students are strongly encouraged to apply to Disability Resources for services/accommodations as early as possible prior to attending Northern Arizona University. Current students may apply for accommodation at any time but are encouraged to apply as soon as they become aware of a need for accommodation.

Evaluation of Eligibility

Within four weeks of receiving your documentation, a letter will be mailed to you regarding your eligibility status with further instructions.

Considering the length of time it may take to evaluate the documentation, students are strongly encouraged to apply as early as possible prior to attending Northern Arizona University to ensure your accommodations are available the first day of the semester.

As a service to prospective Northern Arizona University students, Disability Resources will review disability related documentation regardless of a prospective student admission status.

All information submitted to Northern Arizona University’s Disability Resources becomes part of a student’s “educational record” as defined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

The information contained in the documentation will be used to determine eligibility.   Appropriate accommodations will be based upon your disability and individual needs.
