To be eligible to use an accommodation, the student must fill out an Application for Services at DSS and submit recent documentation of the disability.

Documentation from an appropriate professional should be no older than three years and include a statement of the diagnosis, how the disability impacts the academic environment, and recommendations for accommodations which address the limitations of the disability. The elements DSS requires in the documentation are based on a national standard in post secondary education, which is meant to ensure that the appropriate accommodations, academic adjustments and/or auxiliary aids are provided to students. For specific information on what an individual student’s documentation should include, call DSS at 777-3425.

It is the student’s responsibility to request accommodations. Students who plan to use accommodations at UND should contact DSS before talking to faculty about the accommodations they will need.

General categories of accommodations provided include adaptive testing, textbooks and course materials in alternate format, and auxiliary aids such as notetakers, taped texts, interpreters, etc.

The Student Financial Aid Office assists students and their families in meeting the costs of higher education by providing students with financial assistance and by providing families with access to options and information on financial planning to help students achieve their educational goals. The philosophy of the Student Financial Aid Office is that the primary responsibility for financing a college education lies with the student and their family. The financial aid offered by the University is viewed only as a supplement to the family support. The amount of the student’s financial need is based on the difference between the cost of education for the school year and a contribution calculated from the family’s total financial resources.

Financial assistance is available to assist students with temporary emergencies as well as to provide long term funds for financing a college education. Students are offered financial assistance in various forms, including scholarships, grants, employment and loan programs. The Student Financial Aid Office maintains a listing of both on- and off-campus part-time jobs. More information on programs and procedures are available from the Student Financial Aid Office and on page 8 of this catalog.
