The Disability Services Office reviews documentation on a case-by-case basis. All documentation provided to our office is secured, and a specific disability is never disclosed to faculty or staff without prior consent.

Students with a disability must be otherwise qualified and meet the same academic standards for admission as any other student. In order to receive disability-related accommodations, students must disclose the disability to the Disability Services Office.

In order to best prepare for students’ arrival on campus, CIA appreciates as much advanced notice as possible of requests for accommodations. CIA does not provide retroactive accommodations.
