- Procedures for All Students Requesting Services
The following steps must be followed in order to be considered for
disability services:
Step 1:As early as possible, but at least three weeks before any instruction begins,
call the Disability Services representative at UCSB Extension (see below) to
discuss your needs and to set up an appointment. You must set up the appointment
to meet within 10 days of the initial call. Requests to meet with the representative
that are received later than two weeks before instruction begins may limit our
ability to provide you with the requested services in time for the first day
of class.
Step 2: Send the representative the following documents
in time for the meeting:
- A written request outlining your needs and describing the limitations
you have because of a disability covered under the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990
- Written notification on official letterhead from a physician, certified
specialist, professional counselor, or appropriate school official
verifying your disability and outlining any need for special services.
Step 3: Meet with the representative. At this time, the representative will confirm your
request and outline a plan for providing you with services, including establishing
a time line for when services will begin. If you have not already submitted the
documents requested in Step 2, please bring them with you to the meeting. Space
in UCSB courses cannot be determined until after the quarter begins. In addition,
you must obtain and complete an Open Enrollment Authorization Form, have it signed
by the appropriate campus authorities, returned to the Disabilities Services
representative, and pay all fees at the main UCSB Extension office before services
can begin.
