How to Qualify for Services
General Guidelines
The Center for Disability Services (CDS) is the designated office of the University of Utah to evaluate disability documentation, determine eligibility, and implement reasonable accommodations for students enrolled at the University of Utah and it's associated academic programs. Students are protected from discrimination under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act 1990 (ADA). In order to qualify for services under these mandates, the Center for Disability Services requires comprehensive and specific documentation to substantiate the presence of a disability and demonstrate functional limitations. The documentation establishes eligibility for services and is used for determining reasonable accommodations.
