Reasons to Refer A Student to CDR:
- A student shares with you that they have a disability or that they have used accommodations in the past
- A student tells you they think they may have a learning disability, but have never been tested
- A student presents their CDR Letter of Accommodation, but is not using the accommodations that you believe they may benefit from
- You suspect a student would benefit from disability-related accommodations
- You believe a student needs additional resources to those listed on their Letter of Accommodation.
Reasons to Reach Out to CDR:
- A student has not disclosed a disability or reported using accommodations previously and you believe the student has a condition that may disable them in their academic environment.
- You would like us to work with you on how to engage a student in a discussion about the sensitive topic of disability and how to make appropriate referrals.
CDR Does Not:
- Ask a student to disclose their disability status
- Back-date accommodations (Acommodations are not retroactive.)
- Force or mandate a student to use their accommodations
- Schedule a student’s exam (students schedule exams on their own through the Student Disability Portal) or by speaking with the Testing Center
- Provide mental health or ADHD assessments
Information CDR will not share:
- Details of what a student’s disability is without a written release from the student
- Information pertaining to a student’s disability status without a written release from the student
- Provide an excused absence letter pertaining to a personal or family emergency
- The rationale for the specific accommodations without a written release from the student
