Application and Documentation
A student may qualify for Alpha Scholars (academic, housing, and/or meal聽plan accommodations) if she/he has a documented disability or can be聽reasonably regarded as being disabled.
A disability is legally defined as a physical or mental impairment that聽substantially limits one or more major life activities.
Documentation for learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, and other 鈥渋nvisible鈥澛燿isabilities such as significant mental health conditions should be formal聽assessments and/or comprehensive clinical evaluations conducted by聽relevant, appropriately credentialed providers.
In some cases, ADD/ADHD can be sufficiently documented if the diagnosing聽physician will complete Alpha鈥檚 鈥淒ocumentation of Attention Deficit聽Disorder鈥� form (see below).
All documentation should be less than three years old, provide specific聽diagnoses and include scores and subscores of relevant assessment tools.
Documentation for Housing and Meal Plan Accommodation requests should also聽be within 3 years and directly address the accommodation being requested.聽Additional documentation may be requested by the program director.

Application for Accommodations Related to Pregnancy
Pursuant to the聽聽guidance聽implementing Title IX, the university does not discriminate against any聽student on the basis of pregnancy or pregnancy-related conditions. While聽the university鈥檚 policies prohibit sexual activity outside of marriage, the聽university wants to support (and not punish) students who become pregnant聽regardless of marital status. Alpha Scholars and Title IX staff will walk聽alongside pregnant students and ensure they receive appropriate services.
In that regard, the university treats pregnancy, childbirth, and related聽conditions in the same manner and under the same policies as any other聽temporary condition that does or could “substantially limit one or more聽major life activities” in聽accordance with Title IX.
To request reasonable academic or housing accommodations for needs related聽to a disability, a temporary disability or pregnancy, please contact Alpha聽Scholars using the forms or methods above. Additional on and off-campus聽resources include:
The university also prevents and addresses sex-based harassment, including聽harassment based on pregnancy. If students experience this sort of聽treatment, they should seek help immediately with 精东影业鈥檚 Anti-Harassment聽Office.聽The law prohibits anyone from retaliating against students for filing a聽complaint or raising concerns.
