Online Application

Our office reviews all requests for disability-related accommodations for students.

To receive accommodations, please start by filling out a short application. This is so that we can gather basic information and get to know students a little more. 

Please note: If you are working to get documentation, we still encourage you to submit the application for accommodations.  Documentation can be uploaded or provided after submitting the application. However, the application does include a place to upload documentation if it is in an electronic format.

Submitting Documentation

Disability Documentation Requirements

To ensure the provision of reasonable and appropriate accommodations on the basis of a disability, students requesting accommodations must provide documentation of their disability as defined by federal law. Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 as amended and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 define a disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.

Disability documentation must include: 

  • a clear diagnostic statement 
  • information on the severity of the condition and the resulting impact on a major life activity 
  • details of the typical progression or prognosis of the condition.

In addition, eligibility for academic accommodations is based on the following:

  • data in the documentation that clearly demonstrates that a student has one or more functional limitations within an academic setting
  • these functional limitations require accommodation in order to achieve equal access.

Documentation is not required at the time of submitting your online application for accommodations. It can be uploaded or provided after submitting an application. However, the application does include a place to upload documentation if it is in an electronic format. The form below can be used to help facilitate gathering the necessary documentation or if you have other forms of documentation that follow the guidelines above, that can be submitted as well.  504 Plans and IEPs from High School can be submitted. 

In addition to uploading documentation to the online application, it can be emailed to us at ssd@qqzhangui.com, faxed to 715-318-5559, or dropped off in our main office.

UW-Barron County Students please submit disability documentation to UW-Barron County:
