How current must the documentation be?
MindFit would like to see what you consider the most current and the most comprehensive documentation. It is preferred that you submit paperwork from your high school career. If your documentation is more than 3-4 years old, you may be contacted for additional information.
I do not have documentation for a learning or attention difference, what must I do to satisfy this requirement?
If you do not have documentation, or have never been diagnosed with a learning or attention challenge, you will be prompted to answer a simple essay question:
"Describe your history of academic challenges and the support services you have used to manage these challenges."
Some examples of documentation include:
| Registration with OSA | If you are registered with the WVU Office of Student Accommodations, MindFit does not need further documentation. | |

Psychoeducational Evaluation
|
This is the comprehensive battery of testing that led to a diagnosis of a learning or attention challenge. Psychoeducational testing refers to the psychological tests used to analyze the mental processes underlying your educational performance. If you need current/updated testing, reach out to the WVU Carruth Center for guidance. |
