General Guidelines
Documentation should be typed on letterhead stationary, be recorded on documentation forms available through the Disability Services office, or be in report form.
Documentation should include the following:
1. A clearly stated diagnosis of a disability
2. The signature, printed name, title, and professional credentials of the evaluator (doctor, psychologist, recognized as eligible to diagnose the disability).
3. His/her recommendations for accommodation (based upon limitations within the college academic environment)
4. The date of evaluation
5. Currently prescribed medications.
Documentation should be current, within three years of enrollment at LCCC. Exceptions will be considered on an individual basis and circumstances of the disability.
Documentation should be a comprehensive assessment addressing the ability to function in a postsecondary academic environment. An IEP is not sufficient documentation by itself; it may be included to support the psycho-educational evaluation or other medical documentation.
