Accommodations for Students with Disabilities
In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Amendment Act of 2008, the College strives to ensure that “no otherwise qualified individual with a disability shall, solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program administered by the college.”
Students with disabilities may voluntarily register with the Office of Disability Services at any time after acceptance to the college. Students may be asked to provide current documentation of their disability or undergo further evaluation, which will be kept confidential. Students should consult the Director of Disability Services with any questions, and to register with the Office.
At the beginning of each semester, a student who is registered with the Office of Disability Services should request in writing from the Director that their professors be notified of accommodations. It is the students’ responsibility to make arrangements with the professor each time the accommodation is to be provided (e.g. before each test).
For further information, including a grievance appeals process, contact the Director of Disability Services.
