Requesting Accommodations
UNC Charlotte students who need accommodations should register with Disability Services. To register with our office, students first need to submit appropriate documentation of their disability for review by DS staff.

- Students with learning disabilities need to submit their most recent full-scale psycho-educational evaluation supporting their diagnosis.
- Students requesting housing accommodations need their treating health care provider to complete both the Disability Documentation Form and the Housing and Meal Plan Addendum.
