Clone of Disability Documentation Forms
In order to register with the Office of Disability Services, disability verification is needed. This is done by submitting the appropriate forms that will assist in determining eligibility for services.
Disability Documentation Form
Comprehensive medical, physical or psychological information should be provided by treating physician or psychologist. Print out the attached form for completion. Individuals who have a learning disability or have been diagnosed with ADHD as an adult must provide a copy of the psychological testing supporting the diagnosis. The report should include the results of the diagnostic tests and the tools used to make the determination.
Students who have a disability that impacts housing or dietary needs should complete the additional addendum. This information should be thorough and submitted once a decision is made to apply to campus housing. Housing decisions related to disability cannot be made without proper documentation provided to the Office of Disability Services. Due to limited housing options, students are strongly encouraged to provide documentation to Disability Services as soon as a decision to attend UNC Charlotte is made.
- Housing and Meal Plan Addendum (PDF) This form is to be used to address disabilities that result in functional limitations specific to a university residential environment. It should be submitted in conjunction with the corresponding Medical, Physical, or Psychological form.
Some students require a personal attendant for activities of daily living and to manage their disability while on campus. Students are encouraged to contact the Office of Disability Services early if a personal care attendant will be used while on campus. The student has the sole responsibility of obtaining and employing a personal care attendant. Proper planning and early notification are crucial components to making the transition to UNC Charlotte successful. It is important that the use of a personal care attendant be included on the documentation form submitted to the Office of Disability Services. Additionally, if a student plans to live on campus, the Housing and Residence Life Department will also need to be informed of the use of a personal care attendant. For more information in regards to housing and personal care attendants please contact Housing and Residence Life.
In order to ensure that the personal attendant has access to the student’s housing, please review the information provided on this form Personal Attendant in Housing Form (PDF)
