It is the policy of Villanova to make reasonable academic accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities. Reasonable accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis, and students who need accommodations should go to Clockwork for Students via myNOVA to complete the registration process. Disabled students with specific, disability-related concerns about registration should contact LSS or ADS to set up a time to discuss their needs.
Additional Learning Support Information
LSS cannot give you an earlier registration time nor write you into classes.
We cannot help with requests based on preferences. If you have a specific, disability-related concern about your class schedule, we want to meet with you to discuss your needs. Please reach out to learning.support.services@villanova.edu to schedule an appointment.
Please refer to our Documentation Guidelines to learn more about what documentation meets the necessary requirements.
Students should register with LSS by completing the Online Intake Form through Clockwork. Please check out our guidelines about ClockWork for more information.
Note* Students must self-identify by providing notice of their disability and the required documentation to LSS.
Students who are requesting academic accommodations should submit documentation to verify eligibility under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The following guidelines are provided to ensure that the documentation is complete and appropriate.
Documentation on file for the applicant must:
- Be typed or printed on official letterhead and be signed by an evaluator qualified to make the diagnosis (include information about license or certification and area of specialization).
- Clearly state the diagnosed disability or disabilities.
- Describe the functional limitations resulting from the disability or disabilities.
- Be current (This should ideally have been completed in the last five years.)
- Include complete educational, developmental and medical history relevant to the disability for which academic accommodations are being requested.
- Include a list of all test instruments used in the evaluation report and relevant subtest scores used to document the stated disability; test instruments should have adult norms.
- Describe the specific accommodations requested.
- Adequately support each of the requested testing accommodation(s).
