How Do I Access Services?
The Center for Disability Services (CDS) at Central Washington University (CWU) was established to ensure that students with disabilities admitted to CWU are provided equal access to university programs and services. In order to be eligible to receive a specific accommodation, students must provide
disability documentation which supports the need for that accommodation. The more specific your documentation is in describing the current affects of your disability on your functional limitations the easier it is for CDS to identify appropriate and reasonable accommodations.
Appropriate accommodations are determined for each student on an individual basis by CDS professional staff and are based on disability documentation. Students with disabilities requesting services through CDS are required to provide documentation from a qualified professional verifying the existence of the disabling condition and describing the effect of the disability on the student's ability to access the educational process.
Plan Ahead! It is important to remember that accommodations take time to implement, so planning ahead is essential. Submit your documentation to CDS in plenty of time for it to be reviewed and an accommodation plan prepared early in the quarter that you wish to utilize academic accommodation.
