Registering with Disability Services is an interactive process that involves student self-report, a Disability Services Specialist’s observation and interaction, and information from external sources (e.g., documentation from a healthcare provider). Disability Services collaborates with students to provide reasonable accommodations that are individualized and based on documentation, functional limitations, and a collaborative assessment of needs. Examples of academic accommodations include (but are not limited to):
Disability Services ensures equal access to George Mason University’s programs and services for qualified students with disabilities. A qualified student with a disability is a student with a disability who meets the academic and technical standards required for admission or participation in the university’s education program and services. As defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, a person has a disability if he/she:
In order to determine eligibility for services and fully evaluate requests for accommodations or auxiliary aids, Disability Services may request reasonable and current documentation of the reported impairment, condition, and/or disability.
Examples of academic accommodations:
Other accommodations:
Any documentation from healthcare providers or students will be kept confidential and only the staff of Disability Services have access to the documentation. A designated Mason Korea employee may access the documentation in case translation is needed. Students will be given a chance to provide permission to the staff of Disability Services to release academic accommodations and disability-related information to other campus departments and individuals on an as-needed basis.
Certain prescriptions are prohibited in Korea and without the proper documentation and approval, students would not be allowed to bring in the medication.
International visitors must submit a written application to the Narcotics Control Division of the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) before traveling. Please contact the MFDS for the application procedure and up-to-date information at +82-43-719-2813 or by e-mail at narcotics@korea.kr.
The Korean Customs Service at Incheon Airport has authority over which medications will be allowed to be carried into the country.
