Transfer Students

The Office of Disability Services works with many students who have transferred to UNC Charlotte from other educational institutions. Our office invites students considering UNC Charlotte to explore the services our office provides for students living with disabilities.

Transfer students who are seeking accommodations for a documented disability must complete the following steps:

1. Submit documentation.
Every college and university has their own process regarding disability documentation and verification.
Our office is unable to accept letters from other colleges and universities as valid documentation. Transfer students must submit current documentation from their treating physician or psychologist using the UNC Charlotte Office of Disability Forms.

Documentation forms are divided into varying disability categories and are to be completed by a physician or psychologist. Please visit the documentation page to access the required forms

Documentation for a specific learning disability requires submission of a “current” psycho educational evaluation completed by a licensed psychologist.

2. A counselor will review the documentation, and transfer students will receive a letter indicating their eligibility.

3. If approved for services, schedule an appointment to meet with one of our counselors. Appointments are made by calling our main line: 704-687-4355.
This meeting usually lasts an hour and will be a time for the counselor and the student to discuss the documented disability and appropriate accommodations. At the end of this meeting the student will be provided with letters of accommodation for registered classes.

4. Meet with your professors at the beginning of the course to provide them with the letter of accommodation and to further discuss accommodations.

If any issues or questions arise, please contact our office for further assistance. We are here to support your academic goals and to ensure accessibility!

All disability related information is confidential. No information regarding your disability or accommodations is ever indicated on transcripts.
