Determination of Eligibility
As a mandatory prerequisite to receiving any classroom or curricular accommodations, any student desiring to receive such accommodations, must register with the OSUIT Office of Academic Accommodations (OAA), complete a Request for Academic Accommodations form, provide competent medical documentation evidencing the existence of a specific disability, and cooperate with the OAA in determining the type(s) of accommodations that may be warranted in the case. It is the obligation of the student not only to provide competent medical documentation as requested by the OAA, but also to renew requests for accommodations each academic semester (Academic Accommodations Policies & Procedures, Section 3.01, https://osuit.edu/accommodations).
The Director of the OAA initially reviews this request for academic accommodations to assess whether the student has provided competent medical documentation evidencing the need for such accommodations and to make a recommendation regarding the classroom accommodation(s) to be provided to the student. As appropriate, the Director will notify the student of his/her determination, and if an accommodation is recommended, will create a Letter of Academic Accommodations that lists the specific accommodation(s). The student may then obtain copies of this letter to deliver at his/her discretion to the appropriate faculty member(s) (Academic Accommodations Policies & Procedures, Section 4.01, https://osuit.edu/accommodations).
Important: It is the obligation of the student to provide competent medical documentation as requested by the OAA to renew requests for accommodations each semester. (Academic Accommodations Policies & Procedures, Section 3.01, https://osuit.edu/accommodations).
