7. The name, credentials, and license number of the diagnosing professional.
All documentation must be typed, signed by a qualified health care professional, submitted on the health care
professional’s letterhead, and include the date the documentation was completed. If the employee provides incomplete or
inadequate documentation to substantiate his or her disability and/or the need for the requested reasonable
accommodation, the College may, at its discretion, require the employee to provide additional information. The employee
is responsible for all associated expenses; the College is not financially responsible for any costs related to
documentation required to support the need for an accommodation.
