Apply to PLuS

Dear Applicant:

Thank you for your interest in the PLuS Program at DePaul University.

Please be aware that admission to the PLuS Program is separate from admission to DePaul University. You must be accepted by DePaul University to be eligible for PLuS services. Please review carefully the following forms, and complete the ones that are relevant to your case.  Upon receipt of your completed forms, your eligibility for the program will be considered.

Along with any forms you will be sending to PLuS, you should include your most recent psychoeducational evaluation which has a diagnosis of a Learning Disability and/or Attention Deficit Disorder.  This evaluation should not be more than five years old for LD, or more than three years old for AD/HD.  This might be the most important document you send to PLuS; without this document PLuS cannot provide any services or accommodations to you.
