Steps to Apply for Accommodations
1. Complete Application
2. Submit Documentation
Please submit any supporting documentation that you may have to best inform the Accessibility Office of (1) the nature of your disability, (2) how it impacts your academic experience, and (3) any professional recommendations the Accessibility Office should consider as disability accommodations are evaluated. Documentation is strongly recommended, however not required in all cases. Please do not let a lack of documentation deter you from pursuing the application process for accommodations. Documentation options may include a letter from a doctor or therapist, treatment records, records of accommodations received at other institutions, IEP or 504 plans, testing center results, disability records from professional entities like Veteran Affairs or the Department of Rehabilitation, and records of receiving state or federal disability benefits. Please contact the Accessibility Office for additional questions about documentation. Documentation may be submitted by email to accessibility@lapu.edu, by fax to (626) 200-4738, or by mail to the LAPU mailing address (please specify attention to the Accessibility Office).
3. Schedule Intake Appointment
Once your application materials have been received and reviewed for completion, you will be contacted within two business days by email or telephone to schedule an intake appointment with the Accessible Education Manager.
More About Accessibility
While LAPU supports reasonable accommodations, our primary goal is to continually create an environment that is accessible to as many individuals as possible without the need for accommodation, adaptation, or modification. When something is accessible, it means a person with a disability is afforded the opportunity to acquire the same information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services as a person without a disability in an equally effective and integrated manner, with substantially equivalent ease of use. LAPU websites and courses are designed with web accessibility industry standards in mind to ensure elements like captions and alternative text for images are provided and webpages will function properly for those who use keyboards, screenreaders, or other assistive technologies.
