Required Supporting Documentation
As part of your Accommodations Request, you must provide documentation from a qualified diagnostic professional that includes a current and comprehensive medical, psychiatric, and/or psychological assessment. The documentation should confirm the diagnosis and explain its relevance to the testing conditions you are seeking, along with the diagnostic professional's specific recommendations and rationale for each requested accommodation. The evaluation must be presented on the diagnostic professional's official letterhead and bear their signature. Documentation supporting your Accommodations Request must have been prepared by a diagnostic professional within the last three (3) years from the date of your Accommodations Request.
Optional Supporting Documentation
You may submit additional documentation that you believe is relevant to demonstrate a history of impairment or limitation. This can include previous evaluation reports, proof of prior testing accommodations, evidence of special educational services or plans, standardized test scores from college-entrance or professional exams, academic records, or other objective third-party documentation. Please note, any information or documentation you submit to RPII will not be returned.
Please do not submit any of the following:
- Documentation in a language other than English. If you need to submit a non-English document, you must include a word-for-word English translation, along with the original documentation in its native language.
- Documentation of requests for accommodations with other institutions, organizations, or professional certification bodies. If you have received prior accommodations from another entity, please only submit proof of the accommodations you were granted.
- Self-diagnostic reports.
- Academic journal articles and/or research reports.
