No. Students with disabilities go through the regular admissions procedures. The Office for Students with Disabilities does not have a role in students with disabilities’ admission to HSU.

Federal regulations do not require the University to diagnose disabilities. It is the responsibility of the student to advise the University of any perceived disability and to assume all costs associated with obtaining an adequate diagnosis and documentation of such disability. Testing must be obtained through an appropriate off-campus professional.

No. Documentation of a disability furnished by the student is kept confidential and will be shared with University personnel only with the permission of the student, 除非法律要求. The student presents to appropriate faculty members written notification of the disability in the form of a Confidential Notification of Accommodations.

  1. Apply and be accepted for admission at Hardin-Simmons University.
  2. Complete an application for 残疾人服务 and return it along with current and sufficient documentation in the form of an evaluation performed by a qualified professional.
  3. After an application and sufficient documentation have been received, the student is required to meet with the Coordinator to discuss reasonable accommodations. In this meeting, letters of reasonable accommodation will be given to the qualified student.
  4. Qualified students must provide HSU instructors with a letter of accommodation    from 残疾人服务办公室 and meet with them in a timely manner to discuss the implementation of reasonable accommodations. It is strongly recommended that this is done in the first two weeks of class.

No. Accommodations are not noted on transcripts and/or diplomas. Students who receive accommodations do not have a modified curriculum or degree requirements. They earn the same degree as all other graduates of HSU, and will receive a transcript and/or diploma that is uniform in format and reported information.

No. Students must follow the HSU attendance policy which is outlined in the catalog. A statement concerning absences may be added to a letter of accommodation to explain circumstances to instructors, but excused absences are at the department’s discretion.
