Information provided to the Accessibility Resource Center is protected by FERPA and granted the same level of confidentiality as other student records, which may only be shared with other institutional employees/departments on a “need to know” basis or with your written permission. Accessibility Resource Center records/information are not covered by state laws that govern mental health records. As such, the Director of the Accessibility Resource Center may be obligated to report information such as sexual assaults, criminal/judicial misconduct or academic dishonesty.
In order to determine reasonable accommodations and to coordinate your academic adjustments/accommodations, the Accessibility Resource Center will need to communicate with university’s administration, faculty and/or staff. Information that is shared will be limited to only essential information (i.e. that you have a documented disability and what accommodations you are eligible to receive).
I give permission for staff of the Accessibility Resource Center to share information about my disability-related needs on a need-to-know basis. I understand that this authorization may be withdrawn at any time by submitting a written, signed, and dated request to the Director of the Accessibility Resource Center.
