At Cumberland University, the Dean of Students coordinates Disability Services on campus. If a student suspects that s/he has a disability that is impacting his/her academic performance, the student will need to provide the Dean of Students with a Registration Form and appropriate documentation of that disability from a qualified professional.  An appointment should be scheduled with the Dean of Students in order to review the documentation and determine what academic adjustments may be appropriate.  Once the appropriate accommodations have been determined, Academic Accommodation Forms will be completed for the student by the Dean of Students.  These forms are due back to the Dean of Students within ten working days.

Cumberland University does not diagnose disabilities. However, students can contact the office for help in obtaining a referral to a qualified professional in our community.

Following the original registration process with the Dean of Students, it is the responsibility of each student to notify the Dean of Students at the beginning of each semester that they need Academic Accommodations Forms for their classes.
