If a student is a participant in the Vocational Rehabilitation Administration, no medical evidence is necessary, but they must submit a recent certification indicating an active status with this administration, the diagnosis for which they are eligible, and the kind of reasonable accommodation recommended by the specialist for their condition. These documents must be submitted to the counselor assigned to people with disabilities, located on the first floor of the main building (M- 109).<\/p>\n<p>Once the documents have been submitted, the student should sign an authorization for the counselor to open a confidential record. The counselor will open this record with the student\u2019s medical and personal information. The counselor will coordinate the reasonable accommodations requested by the student and justified by their specialist. This record will be confidential and will be used with the express purpose of coordinating reasonable accommodation services.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of each quarter, the student is responsible for requesting reasonable accommodation so the counselor may coordinate these services (such as tutoring, interpreters, note-takers, among others).<br>\nWhen students request reasonable accommodation, they will receive a letter addressed to their professors to notify them of the measures of reasonable accommodation they should adopt in class according to the student\u2019s condition. The letter will be confidential, and the student\u2019s condition will not be disclosed. It will only explain the reasonable accommodations the professor should make. Students should submit this letter to their professors. Each professor should sign the acknowledgement of receipt to confirm receipt of the letter. Students should then submit the acknowledgement of receipt to their counselor. This document will be kept in the student\u2019s record.<\/p>\n<p>Any concerns or questions about reasonable accommodations should be discussed with the counselor.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"gray-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pupr.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Politica-personas-con-impedimentos-junio-2018.pdf\">\n\t\t\tInstitutional Policy on Services for People with Disabilities \n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\n\n\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"gray-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pupr.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Procedimiento-para-solicitar-acomodo-junio-2018.pdf\">\n\t\t\tProcedure to Request Reasonable Accommodation \n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\n\n\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"gray-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pupr.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Solicitud-acomodo-razonable.pdfrevisada-2014-febrero.pdf\">\n\t\t\tRequest for Reasonable Accommodation \n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\n<p>For more information, you may contact Sandra Lugo (Institutional Counselor PUPR) at 787-622-8000, ext. 337, or email slugo@pupr.edu, or you may visit her office, located on the first floor of the main building (M), Office M-102 (Financial Assistance hallway).<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reasonable Accommodation The purpose of this service is to provide equal opportunities to people with physical, mental, neuropsychological, sensory and emotional disabilities that may limit their daily activities in an academic environment.
