REGISTRATION PROCESS

The SAC knows that attending university can be both an exciting and daunting time, and we are here to empower students with disabilities to make the best possible choices in the circumstances. 

All requests for disability accommodations are reviewed on an individualized, case-by-case basis by SAC staff. Staff work one-on-one with students to determine needs and interpret medical documentation. Staff are present to help make the process clear for each student and make application process less overwhelming. 

 

 

To register with our office, students must:

1. Complete the application form and submit documentation.
   • Please click here to review documentation guidelines.
   • Please submit documentation via the application form, email to SAC@luc.edu, or fax to 773-508-3810. 
2. Meet with SAC Staff.
   • When SAC has approved your application and documentation, they will prompt you to schedule a meeting.

Overview of Registration Process 

1. Student registers with the SAC through our form. Medical documentation supporting your disability may be uploaded to the registration form, or sent directly to the SAC.
2. If the student’s documentation is determined to be supportive, the SAC will email the student’s official LUC email address with an invitation to schedule an initial appointment. Sometimes, the SAC requires more information and will email the student with a notification that additional documentation is required to move forward with their application.
3. The SAC provides a Disability Verification Form for students to give to their medical provider. (This is optional.)
4. SAC staff meets with student via zoom or in person to identify potential access barriers and determine appropriate accommodations. 
5. The SAC will confirm accommodations via a letter to the student. Then, the student is able to send their accommodation letters to faculty. Once processed, faculty will receive an electronic copy of the accommodation letter in Accommodate. 
6. In the case of housing accommodations, meal plans, and emotional support animals, SAC will work with Residential Life to coordinate the application.
7. Students must log into Accommodate and send their accommodation letters each term. Accommodations will not be active each term until students send their accommodation letters. Housing/Meal Plan Requests roll over each term and year and do not need to be renewed.
8. Registered students are welcome to revisit the SAC if their needs change. Updated medical information may be required.
