Procedures for Making a Referral to DSC

In order to begin receiving accommodations and services, DSC procedures are as follows: 

1. DSC staff begin working with a student once they disclose their disability by submitting a Getting to Know You Form.  

2. After submitting the "Getting to Know You" form to our office, the student will be contacted by a DSC staff member who will likely request that the student submits supporting documentation. This documentation should demonstrate how the disability or medical condition impacts the student in an academic setting.  Please do not accept any documentation directly from a student.  The documentation must be submitted to DSC staff, who will then review it and begin to engage in conversation with the student about reasonable accommodations in the classroom setting.

3. After a student has met with DSC staff to discuss reasonable accommodations, faculty will be notified via Accommodate system when accommodations are officially approved for a student in their course.  Faculty will receive an email notification to log-in to Accommodate to review the approved Accommodation letters for students in their course(s).

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with questions or concerns DSC@farmingdale.edu.
