Steps to Apply for Accommodations

1. Contact the Office for Disability Services
   Office - 206B in the Academic Building
   Phone - (309) 268-4321
   E-mail – ncods@lincolncollege.edu
2. Register with ODS and submit current (within 5 years) documentation of your disability.
3. Ask your diagnosing professional to complete the ODS Diagnosing Professional form. Acceptable documentation will include:
   • Professional diagnostic statement of the disability
   • Current functional impact of the disability
   • Treatments, medication, accommodations currently in use
   • Expected progression of the disability over time
   
   Note: A high school IEP or SOP, while helpful in determining effective accommodations, does not in itself constitute sufficient documentation.
4. Complete registration forms and sign a student responsibilities contract, all of which you can submit during the intake interview.
5. Meet with ODS and request accommodations.
6. ODS will issue a letter outlining approved accommodations which students should give to each instructor.
