I ve been accepted at Barry University, and I have a disability. What do I have to do to receive accommodations?
If you have a disability, or if you suspect that you have a disability, the first place to go is the Office of Disability Services. Students with disabilities have the responsibility of contacting the Office of Disability Services for an intake interview to assess their needs prior to their first semester of enrollment at Barry University. You should not assume that the Office of Disability Services knows any information about your disability because it was included in your application for admission. You are not entitled to any accommodation(s) until you have met with the staff in the Office of Disability Services. If you have the necessary documentation of your disability, it must be provided at this time. If you do not have any documentation, or if your documentation is insufficient, the staff in the Office of Disability Services will go over our Disability Services Handbook with you, and then refer you to an appropriate professional for evaluation.
