Documentation
Students should submit documentation from a qualified professional stating the nature and severity of the disability, the diagnostic procedures used, and recommendations for assistance. Students with Learning Disabilities or Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder must submit documentation of an adult psychoeducational evaluation performed by an appropriately qualified professional. Information obtained is confidential and is used solely for the purpose of identifying appropriate support services.
Reasonable Accommodation
OSU-Tulsa will reasonably accommodate students with a disability unless such accommodation poses an undue hardship, results in a fundamental alteration in the nature of the service, program or activity or causes undue financial or administrative burdens.
