When you are asked about your disability in the application, think about the following:

• How does the disability affect your experiences, learning, reading/writing, housing, dining, technology use, etc.?
• What are your limitations?
• What tools facilitate your success?

Start the application now.

Your application cannot be reviewed until the SDRC has both your completed application and qualifying documentation.  

The application process is NOT completed immediately and can take at least 2-3 weeks to complete so please begin the process as early as possible.

**Note: During high volume times such as late summer, pre-midterms, or pre-finals, etc... may result in longer processing and orientation scheduling times**

You must submit documentation that:

• is on letterhead;
• states a diagnosis or diagnoses;
• is signed and dated by a current treating care provider;
• includes your name and date of birth on all documentation;
• is submitted in a non-editable document (no Word documents);
• provides support for the diagnosis and how it meets the definition of a person with a disability under the ADA.

Submit your documentation through AIM after you submit your application or:

• Email: [email protected]
• Fax: 803-777-6741
• Ask your provider to submit the documentation directly to us
• Deliver in-person to Close-Hipp, Suite 102

Schedule

• Once your application is processed, you will receive an email from your coordinator, asking you to send a few date and time options to schedule your orientation. You must complete this step to access disability services.
• Please let your coordinator know if you would prefer an in-person or virtual registration meeting. If you do not specify, the meeting will be held virtually through Blackboard Collaborate. 

Attend

• You must attend your registration meeting with your coordinator in order to receive accommodations. When you meet with your coordinator, they will review SDRC policies and procedures, make you aware of which accommodations you have been approved for, and help you get logged in to your AIM profile. 

You are NOT registered with our office until you attend your registration meeting.
