Eligibility Criteria & Application Procedures

In order to receive services, you must first be admitted to Lourdes. Second, you need to present documentation of the disability to the Director of Accessibility Services. Documentation of the medical, psychological, or learning disability must be completed by a physician, a state or federal rehabilitation specialist, a psychiatrist, or a licensed psychologist. This documentation should be current at the time of enrollment or when academic adjustments are implemented, should describe functional limitations, and should include recommendations for academic adjustments appropriate to the disability. Changes in medical and psychological disabilities should be reported to the Director of Accessibility Services as they occur.

Finally, you should meet with the Director each semester to determine the academic adjustments necessary for the classes in which you are enrolled. Documentation for learning disabilities and attention deficit disorders must describe the student as an adult, age 18 or older, and can also be certified by an educational specialist. Documentation completed when you are a high school senior is acceptable.

Criteria for admission to Lourdes is available through the Office of Admissions. You cannot be denied admission solely because of a disability. If you voluntarily report a disability, you will receive information about available support services. When the results of standardized tests (ACT/SAT) are requested as a component of the admissions process, scores from their administration under special conditions are acceptable. If you have been diagnosed with a learning disability or an attention deficit disorder and received disability services when you were an elementary or high school student, please ask for a re-evaluation during your senior year; documentation presented must be current for you as an adult.
