How to Apply for Services with the University Disability Services (UDS)

UHH Home > Student Affairs > University Disability Services

Students with disabilities are responsible for identifying themselves as needing an academic accommodation, providing appropriate documentation and requesting the appropriate reasonable accommodation(s). UHH does not provide diagnostic services. It is strongly recommended that high school students with disabilities obtain current testing and clinical documentation prior to exiting their high school or educational setting.

To Apply:

  1. Read the eligibility requirements.
  2. Contact the University Disability Services (UDS) Office to obtain a print copy of the UDS application form or use the online application form. This form should be submitted with appropriate documentation to the University Disability Services Office - either prior to, or as soon as possible after enrolling.
     
  3. Disability Documentation requirements include:
    • A diagnostic statement identifying the disability, date of the current diagnostic evaluation, and the date of the original diagnosis.
    • A description of the diagnostic criteria and/or diagnostic test used.
    • A description of the current functional impact of the disability as it relates to the accommodation requested.
    • Treatments, medications, assistive devices/services currently prescribed or in use.
    • A description of the expected progression or stability of the impact of the disability over time.
    • The credentials of the diagnosing professional(s).
       
  4. Once all documentation is received by the UDS office, a determination will be made. The student will be contacted with the results and a subsequent appointment will be made to further discuss the student academic accommodation needs, or discuss denial of services based on ineligibility. Appeal process information will be provided if a denial is made.
