The LEC coordinates a number of direct services for undergraduate students with specific disabilities. Upon documented verification of disability, academic accommodations are individualized based on the learning needs of each student. Accommodation examples include: advocacy; academic and technical support; registration assistance; testing accommodations; assessment referral; liaison with university academic service areas; and liaison with community agencies.
To request academic accommodation, complete an Academic Accommodations Application (available in the LEC); provide documentation of the disability; and schedule an interview with an LEC staff member.
Note that academic accommodations at APU do not include:- Diagnostic testing or evaluation of learning disabilities
- Special programs for learning disabled students
- Personal care aids
- Separate or special tutorial programs for the disabled
- Reduced standards of academic performance
