Georgetown University: School of Foreign Service in Qatar

Based upon the documentations submitted by the student and a review by the appropriate University personnel, the University will determine the appropriate reasonable accommodation for special needs or disabilities in the following steps:

1. The Student Wellness Counseling reviews all documentation and determines whether the student is eligible to receive services/accommodations based on the documented disability.
2. If the University determines that an accommodation is appropriate, the Student Wellness Counseling arranges a meeting with the student to determine appropriate services/accommodations.
3. During this initial meeting with Student Wellness Counseling, policies and procedures are discussed with the student. In most cases, the Student Wellness Counseling will give the student a letter describing the nature of the services/accommodations he/she would receive as a result of his or her disability.
4. In this meeting, the student will complete and sign a release of information form to give permission to the Student Wellness Counseling to share, as necessary, information about the student's disability with the University personnel, such as academic deans and faculty, who will be involved in providing the accommodation to the student.
5. After these steps are completed, the student is responsible for meeting with the University personnel who will be arranging for the services/accommodations to discuss the recommended services/accommodations. In the case of academic accommodations, the student should plan to meet with his or her professors at the beginning of each semester. The student should give the letter from the Student Wellness Counseling that verifies the student's disability and the recommended accommodations to the faculty and answer any questions the professors may have.
