Registering with the Office of Accessibility Services

Registering with the Office of Accessibility Services is not the same as registering for college.

When you register to attend the university, you will not be asked if you have a disability, and no information will be sent to our office regarding your registration.
You apply for admission to the university prior to applying for services with the Office of Accessibility Services.

Returning Students

Submit an online APPLICATION FORM
PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION concerning your accommodation needs (Documentation needs to be from a qualified professional)
A LIST OF SERVICES provided in high school and/or other schools attended (Individual Education Plan from high school or letter of services used from previous colleges attended) may be helpful but this is not considered proper documentation.

Once all documentation materials have been received and reviewed, the Office of Accessibility Services will contact you to schedule a meeting.
The meeting is designed to discuss:
- 1) services a student is eligible to receive based upon the documentation submitted
- 2) disability-related needs
- 3) preparations for attending college
The approved accommodation letter will then be emailed to the student and the instructors. The letter explains necessary classroom accommodations and does not mention disability. We only disclose your disability to instructors if it is health-related. Seizure disorders would meet this criterion.

All submitted documents are placed in a confidential student file and will not be returned to the applicant or forwarded to any agency or other college or university.
We recommend submitting copies and retaining the original documents for future use.
It is important to remember that your Application for Services through the Office of Accessibility Services is separate from the application process for admission to the university.
McNeese State University is committed to excellence in teaching, research, and creative and scholarly activity.
Research shows that students with disabilities who are most successful at the university level have taken a college preparatory curriculum in high school.
