To Apply for Disability Accommodations for the First Time
Step 1 : Self Identify- Fill out an application via
This brief application will allow you to give us some insight on your needs here at 6VµçÓ°Íø. Students are responsible for initiating contact with ARS. Please sign in using your 6VµçÓ°Íø credentials, do not use a personal email account!
Step 2: Disability Documentation-Submit supporting documentation from your medical provider
Review the Documentation guidelines depending on type of disability. In order to determine if your disability qualifies for accommodations, students typically need to provide documentation. The Disability Documentation Form can be filled out by your medical provider. The purpose of the documentation is not only to confirm your disability but also to assist our office in comprehensively addressing your disability-related needs. Submit appropriate documentation from your provider or an appropriate professional to ARS via . Please upload documentation via Online Portal (after completing the application) or email at disability@pomona.edu in a timely manner, as applications without documentation may be delayed.
Step 3: Meet with ARS- Schedule your Intake appointment*
*Please note: Do not schedule an appointment without completing Steps 1 & 2 first. If you have any questions, please feel free to follow up.
The intake interview is a critical step toward determining eligibility. After you submit an application for services, an email will be sent to your 6VµçÓ°Íø email to schedule an appointment. The purpose of this appointment is to learn first-hand your functional limitations and accommodation needs. Please note that participating in an intake interview does not guarantee program eligibility. Based on both your self-reported information and the disability documentation, ARS determines if you are eligible for services and, if so, the appropriate and effective accommodations for your individual situation. If necessary to determining eligibility, we may request additional documentation. If you do not hear from our office within 5 business days after your application and documentation is complete/uploaded, please contact our office at 909-621-8017 or email disability@pomona.edu.
