If you require an alternate format of the Intake Packet, please contact a Disability Services Staff member from the list below.

It is the responsibility of the student to obtain additional information or testing if it is required to determine eligibility for accommodations. NOVA does not provide testing/formal assessment of disabilities or reimburse students who complete testing through a community provider. A list of community testing providers is available through the campus Counseling Centers. NOVA will accept evaluations from all qualified professionals and do not specifically endorse the providers listed on the referral list.

Students who provide documentation, but do not complete the intake process, are not eligible to receive accommodations. In such cases, a Disabilities Services Counselor will make a reasonable effort to contact the student. If the student does not respond within 30 days or chooses not to complete the intake process, the student’s disability documentation will not be retained.

 All information obtained in diagnostic and medical reports will be maintained and used in accordance with applicable confidentiality requirements. College policy reclassifies any student not enrolled for three full years as inactive. Records of inactive students will not be retained.

Contact a Disability Services Counselor at the campus of your choice to request an appointment. Deaf or hard of hearing students should contact NOVA’s Interpreter Services Office.

If you are approved for accommodations, the counselor will provide you with an official Memorandum of Accommodation (MOA).

During the intake process a NOVA Disability Services Counselor will review your documentation and discuss your need for accommodations. If you are approved for accommodations, the counselor will provide you with an official Memorandum of Accommodation (MOA). The final determination of appropriate accommodations rests with a NOVA Disabilities Services Counselor. Students have the right to appeal this determination; see Student Complaint and Grievance Policy in the NOVA Student Handbook.

Provide your MOA to the instructor of each class in which you wish to utilize any of your approved accommodations. You may also need to provide a copy of your MOA to the NOVA Testing Center if you will be utilizing any testing accommodations.
