To be eligible for academic accommodations through Disability Support Services at K-State, students must present documentation of a disability. Documentation must be provided before accommodations can be arranged. Documentation must be provided by an appropriate professional and may be mailed, FAXed, or delivered to the DSS office.
If you have questions about which guidelines apply, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Some students contact our office who have not been tested for cognitive disabilities, such as a learning disability, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or a psychological disability, but suspect that they may have one. Kansas State University does not have the resources to provide the necessary testing. DSS will provide students with a list of appropriate professionals who are qualified to conduct a diagnostic evaluation. Insurance companies sometimes pay for testing, but often they do not. In some cases, local service agencies can provide financial help to students.
