Disability Accommodation Guidelines
GUST empowers students with disabilities to realize their academic and personal potential by facilitating equal access to university programs. Services include coordinating reasonable accommodations and other support services for eligible students.
Reasonable accommodations are adjustments for students with disabilities which will provide equal access to GUST programs. Examples include someone taking notes for the student during lectures, extended time during testing, and use of tape recorder during classes. Accommodation plans and services are customized to match the disability-related needs of each student and are determined according to documentation and the student’s program requirements.
Registration for these accommodations includes submitting appropriate disability documentation. Students need to complete the Disability Accommodation Request Form for use in the One Stop Students Services Center, which is attached below for reference.
Disability Documentation Should Be:
1- Recent enough in order to assess the current impact on learning. Please note that students requesting reasonable accommodations must submit documentation dated within 5 years.
2- Issued by a medical or other qualified, licensed professional.
3- Printed on official letterhead, dated, and signed by the licensed professional.
Please note that GUST reserves the right to require that a certified copy of the report be transmitted directly from the licensed professional to the university.
4- Comprehensive which includes a psycho educational evaluation, diagnostic interview, and clinical summary.
Document Should Also Include:
1- The student’s history of receiving reasonable accommodations and academic adjustments, if such history exists.
2- Specific recommendations for accommodations as well as an explanation as to why each is recommended as necessary
3- Use of the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho educational Battery III-Tests of Cognitive Ability (Standard Battery-subtests 1-10) or subtests from the Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale III (WAIS-III) are preferred.
Students are responsible for requesting reasonable accommodations through the One Stop Students Services Center before the semester begins since GUST will not be liable for meeting accommodation requests after the term has begun. After review of a student’s documentation and application, the Disability Services team at the One Stop Students Services Center will meet with the student to go over what services the student is eligible for. Once accommodations are verified, the team will send the student an email so they know what services they will be receiving while at GUST and then will coordinate with faculty and other GUST staff in order to provide stated services.
Special Needs Student Acceptance:
After receiving and going through the above mentioned documents, the students will be screened by The Disability Services team or the Dean of student affairs. A decision of acceptance or rejection will be made based on the screening sessions findings.
