Is a student required to divulge the nature of the disability?
No, students are not required to tell you the nature of their disabilities or to provide copies of their disability documentation. Students requesting reasonable accommodations do have to provide you with a letter from the DPRC confirming that they have a documented disability and listing the approved accommodations. The DPRC is the authorized entity charged with documenting disabilities and recommending reasonable accommodations at SFSU.
