Disability Documentation
Students who are currently undergoing treatment by a licensed professional (eg: Doctor, Nurse Practitioner, Chiropractor etc.) should submit this form to each licensed professional who can provide information about your condition and how it impacts you in an educational setting.
Once you have printed the Disability Documentation Form (PDF) please only complete the area marked Student Section and make sure that you have included your signature. Your signature acts as a medical release and without it your licensed professional will be unable to complete their section. Please take this form to your licensed professional and request that they complete the remainder of the form. When this is completed please return this page with your application to the Partners in Access to College Education office and schedule your first appointment.

Learning Disability Assessment
To qualify for accommodations and services as a student with a learning disability a student needs to do the following: submit a copy of IEP, 504, Psycho-Educational Triennial Report, or certified LD testing completed by a licensed clinician or facility.
If you do not have a copy of your LD documentation submit a Record Request (PDF) to the college, community agency, or high school, if you were previously assessed for learning disabilities. After they have returned the required documentation to our office, we will then phone you at the number you have listed on your documentation to schedule your first appointment.
You may also contact PACE-services@shastacollege.edu, we will be glad to assist you in getting your documentation.
PACE Office does not conduct Learning Disability Assessments. Please contact PACE staff to see if you are still eligible for PACE services under another category
