UNH Documentation Guidelines

Recognizing the unique nature of disabilities and their impact on an individual, our documentation guidelines outline the information a student will need to provide in order to be considered for services and accommodations.  This documentation should be submitted by admitted or enrolled UNH students.  All documentation should be typed on letterhead stationary and signed by an appropriate diagnositician.  The diagnositician should be impartial and not a family member.  The documentation must inlcude a clear statement that a disability does or does not exist. Terms such as “appears,” “probable,” and “suggests” in the diagnostic summary statement do not support a conclusive diagnosis.  Once all materials requested are received by the office, including a copy of the documentation and the Accommodations and Services Request Form, the Documentation Review Committee will begin the review process.  This process may take 2-3 weeks once all materials are processed in the office.
