Do we accept a student’s IEP?
Averett University is committed to creating an inclusive environment in which all students have an equal opportunity to achieve academic success and to enjoy campus life without discrimination. Averett University is devoted to ensuring that all students who submit appropriate documentation of a disability receive reasonable accommodations in accordance with the submitted documentation. It is our belief that accommodations will provide equal access to opportunities provided by Averett. Documentation from a licensed clinician and/or official authorized to diagnose disabilities who is not a family member or other individual with a personal relationship with the student Documentation must include the following: 1). A clear diagnostic statement identifying the disability, 2). Date of the most current diagnostic evaluation, 3). A description of the diagnostic assessment(s)*, method(s), and/or certifying criteria utilized to determine disability, along with examiner’s narrative interpretation. Please know that IEPs and 504 Plans from high school are beneficial to have on file as they help to establish a history of the disability; however, further documentation is required.
