After you have been accepted to LaGuardia, you should contact the Office for Students with Disabilities for Testing and Orientation. This contact will ascertain the nature of your disability, (physical, learning, emotional etc.), document the type and level of support you have thus far received, and determine what accommodations are needed for LaGuardia to provide the continued support that is necessary to assist the student in managing a successful college career. If you choose not to identify yourself as having a disability or impairment during the admissions process, it is your responsibility to contact the Office for Students with Disabilities upon acceptance.
