What if a student claims to have a disability but does not have a memo from DSS?
Provide disability modifications ONLY for students who bring you accommodation memos from DSS. You will not incur legal difficulties because it is the prerogative of the university (of which you are a part) to require students to establish eligibility for disability assistance before they may be accommodated. DSS is the office designated to collect and maintain confidential disability materials and to coordinate accommodations for students.
