We hope that you find these step by step instructions helpful in uploading your documentation to your online application.

Uploading Documentation to the SALT Center Online Application*

Why am I being asked for documentation?

Documentation is the comprehensive testing that led to a diagnosis of a learning or attention challenge. Providing documentation of your learning or attention challenge is a key step to submitting your online application in order to be considered eligible to enroll. 

Do you have a preferred format for my documentation?

Documentation must be uploaded to the online application in electronic format.  The file must be a Word or PDF document. 

Is there a file size limit?

Absolutely. The maximum file size you can upload is approximately 20 MB (megabytes).

I do not have 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."

How current must the documentation be?

The SALT Center would like to see what you consider the most current and the most comprehensive.  The SALT Center requests that you submit paperwork from your high school career.  If your documentation is more than three - four years old, then you may be contacted for additional information. 

Some examples of paperwork include:

If you have any questions about uploading your documentation, please contact Max Jackson at maxj@email.arizona.edu.
