DISABILITY RESOURCES AND ACCESS OFFICE

ACCOMMODATION FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AND SPECIAL NEEDS

Northland is committed to ensuring that all of its students are provided equal access to a quality education and complies with all federal regulations with regard to non-discrimination of persons with disabilities. Eligible students with properly documented disabilities will be provided reasonable and appropriate accommodations to instruction and services that are also made available to the general student population.

Students seeking accommodations are required to contact the office of Disability Resources and Access (DRA) as early in the registration process as possible. Failure to do so may result in a delay or limitation of services. All accommodations considered will be based upon the documentation provided to the DRA office by the student and will be implemented after consultation and agreement with the student on a case-by-case basis. In all cases, it remains the responsibility of the student to provide the DRA office with all necessary and required documentation.

DISCLOSURE OF REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION

Students seeking accommodations must provide the Disability Resources and Access office with the following:

1. Proof of Admission or intent to be admitted to Northland.

2. Proof of Disability--Physical Disability

• a. Provide an evaluative report describing any functional limitations or medical information certifying a qualifying disability.
• b. Include evidence that the evaluator has the professional credentials and/or specialized training, which qualifies him or her to offer a diagnostic determination.

3. Proof of Disability--Cognitive Developmental Disorders

• b. Include evidence that the evaluator has the professional credentials and/or specialized training, which qualifies him or her to offer a diagnostic determination within the parameters of the diagnostic criteria for Cognitive Development Disorders established by the DSM-IV.

Accommodations to permit service animals at any campus or center location are allowed after documentation of disability for such service animals is provided. All necessary documentation must be on file in the DRA office before any accommodations can be implemented.

FACULTY MENTORING

Faculty Mentoring is a program designed to give special assistance to all degree- or certificate-seeking students. A full-time faculty member, teaching in the subject area related to the student's expressed interest area, is assigned as a mentor to the student after a degree audit is completed. The mentor has a unique understanding of course material, course sequencing, prep-time for courses, career opportunities, advanced education or training opportunities and personal connections for employment assistance. Students are encouraged to meet with their mentor at least once each semester.
