Documentation Guidelines
Purpose of Documentation
Documentation gives AS staff the information needed to fully evaluate requests for academic adjustments and auxiliary aids as well as allows staff to understand the impact of your disability as it relates to accommodations requests. It is the student's responsibility to obtain documentation and provide it to AAS.
Eligibility for Services
To be eligible for services, students must have a disability as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 as Amended and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or Section 508. Documentation of the disability must explain the disability and the need for accommodations. Eligible students must also meet the academic and technical standards requirements for admission to college programs or activities.
Documentation
Documentation consists of diagnostic information from a licensed clinical professional familiar with the history and functional implications of our disability. This information must be submitted on the official letterhead of the professional or institution (such as a doctor, psychologist, school, or other agency) describing the disability.

If you do not have documentation
If you do not have documentation or a disability, please contact AS to discuss how we may be able to support your academic goals.
GHC does not provide diagnostic testing for learning disabilities. The AS office can provide a list of Learning Disability evaluators and diagnosticians; however, we do not make any recommendations or referrals to any one specific person or company.
