Documentation Required for LD
In order to evaluate accommodation and service requests, Disability Resources will need information about how your disability is likely to impact you here at Northern Arizona University.

Disability Resources recognizes that barriers exist and can create hardship for students with regard to having and presenting third party disability documentation. Please don't delay meeting with us out of concern for not having appropriate paperwork. If you have information/documentation you can submit it to Disability Resources by: ? bringing it to our office in Room 2050 at the Health and Learning Center ? emailing it to Disability Resources e-mail, fax it to 928-523-8747 ? mail it to: Disability Resources, P.O. Box 5633, Flagstaff AZ 86011 Disability Resources may ask for additional documentation concerning your disability and/or the need for accommodations. If such documentation is necessary, it will be limited to the need for the accommodation requested. We will consider any information, including but not limited to, your description of your needs; records of past accommodations and services from high school, another college, state or high stakes testing organization; formal psychological or medical evaluations, and letters from past health, education or service providers. These general guidelines were developed to assist you and those in your support network to prepare this information so we can evaluate your request and make recommendations.

Sustainability
“True Blue is on its way to Green!” Northern Arizona University is home to nine LEED buildings, including the LEED Platinum Applied Research and Development building that has been named the “Greenest Building in Higher Education” by The Chronicle of Higher Education. In addition, NAU is planning and building for a sustainable future. By signing the ACUPCC, President John D. Haeger is leading NAU towards establishing a Carbon Neutral Campus by 2020. The Office of Sustainability, which was created in order to ensure this goal is realized, is working collaboratively with students across campus to implement sustainable practices. Campus initiatives that are contributing to this goal include the No Impact Jack Sustainable Living Certificate Program, the Student Sustainability Ambassadors Program, Green NAU, the Environmental Caucus, and the President’s Coordinating Committee for Campus Sustainability. The use of reclaimed water for irrigation and toilet flushing offset domestic water use on the NAU campus by 76,141,101 gallons. The custodial department has transitioned to 100 percent green cleaning products and utilizes toilet paper and paper towels made from recycled material. The NAU Mountain Link Public Transit carries hundreds of students, staff, and faculty across campus and into the larger Flagstaff community every day free of charge.
