Our work is supported by our sponsoring organization, the National Center for College Students with Disabilities (NCCSD), which is based at the Association on Higher Education And Disability (AHEAD).

High School vs. College Accommodations

Caregiver Role

High School: Caregivers play an important role in creating and maintaining an IEP or 504 Plan. They may also communicate frequently with teachers and resource staff.

College: Students are entitled to FERPA protections. The Office of Accessibility Services only communicates with the student and faculty regarding accommodations. Faculty and the Office of Accessibility Services do not regularly communicate regarding students. Students must provide signed permission for other types of communication to occur. If a student has an issue or concern regarding accommodations, they must contact the Office of Accessibility Services for assistance.

Course Related Accommodations

High School: There are many different types of accommodations in the K-12 system. A student's IEP might include the modification of curriculum, shortening of assignments or reduction of work.

College: Accommodations at the college level provide access, therefore the curriculum, work load and expectations are the same as students without disabilities.

Documentation of Disability

High School: The school is responsible for identifying students with disabilities. A staff member coordinates with faculty so they are aware of the accommodations.

College: Students must self-identify and provide documentation of their disability. Students must also provide Accommodation Letters to faculty each semester to ensure they are aware of the accommodations.

Relevant Laws

High school: Students are accommodated under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Accommodations provided for students are designed to ensure student success.

College: Accommodations at the college level are provided for under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and are designed to provide access to the curriculum.

Student Responsibilities

As a college student (including CCP students under 18 years of age), the student is responsible for their educational experience. They can choose to register with the Office of Accessibility Services and to utilize accommodations each semester.

MTC is committed to providing students with disabilities equal and equitable access to all programs, services, and activities, including classroom access. The Student Disability Services office (BR183, located within the Center for Student Success and Engagement space) is the MTC office that works with students and faculty to facilitate appropriate provision of accommodations based on functional limitations of the diagnosed disability or disabling condition.

Some of the disabilities or disabling conditions include (not exhaustive): specific learning disabilities (dyslexia, processing); mental health conditions (depression, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD); medical or chronic health conditions (diabetes, multiple sclerosis); mobility conditions (paraplegia, CP); Deaf/hard of hearing/hearing loss; Blind/vision loss. Each student will need to meet with Jenifer Montag in Disability Services to discuss their specific situation (and will need to provide documentation of their disability if the functional limitations are not readily apparent) in order for accommodations to be determined as appropriate.

Students should meet and discuss their situation with Jenifer as soon as possible, as some accommodations can take significant time to arrange. A delay in meeting with Jenifer can delay the provision of accommodations for the classroom. Additionally, as there are significant differences between the college classroom and the high school classroom, and the use of the accommodations, it is important for students to meet with Jenifer early to learn about the college accommodations process.

If students need accommodations for MTC placement testing, that should be requested by the student in advance of the planned test date in order to arrange the accommodations.

If you need your course materials read aloud, please download Read & Write software.

Should students (and their parents) have questions about accommodations in the college setting, we welcome them to meet with Jenifer to discuss. Please contact Disability Services by emailing DS@mtc.edu to set up an informational meeting or stopping by room BR183 to set up an appointment. The student, as the enrolled person, will need to attend the meeting with and can invite their parent, or another supportive person they want, to join the meeting.

Thank you for choosing MTC and we look forward to you joining our educational community!

The Office of Accommodative Services provides equal access, support, resources, and advocacy to students who have documented disabilities. In addition, Accommodative Services work in an advisory capacity with faculty and staff in an effort to develop reasonable accommodations that allow students with disabilities to fully participate in all programs and services offered at the College.

The Testing Center and Accommodative Services Director functions as a liaison with faculty and staff, as well as with community agencies. The primary goal of Accommodative Services is to implement classroom accommodations based on individual needs, to provide student support, and to enable students with disabilities to have equal access to Rhodes State programs and services. Rhodes State buildings comply with Federal regulations for individuals with disabilities by providing access through external ramps, automatic doors, elevators, designated parking areas close to the buildings, and restroom facilities. TTY services are located in the Public Service Building Lobby.

There are many types of accommodations available to students, and all decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. The most common accommodations include (but are not limited to) extended time on tests, reduced distraction testing, enlarged print materials, use of an audio recorder or C-Pen in the classroom, and use of audio textbooks. For more information, call (419) 995-8476 or visit Technical Education Laboratory Building, Room 132.

Bookstore

The Barnes & Noble bookstore is located on the first floor of the Public Service Building. The bookstore stocks all textbooks and supplies necessary for each course. In addition, there are a variety of gift items, such as sweatshirts, t-shirts, and novelty items. Bookstore hours vary throughout the year.

The bookstore sells and buys new and used books. Refunds and exchanges will be made only at specific times for specified items. Please check the store for refund and buy-back policies. Students can purchase their books from the Bookstore website.

Career Development

Rhodes State College Career Development has many resources for each step of your career journey including academic major and career exploration, cover letters and resumes, job searching, and interviews. Resources are also available to help you prepare for transfer to a four-year institution to earn your bachelor's degree.

Student employment, co-op, internship, part-time, full-time, temporary, and volunteer opportunities are posted via the College Central Network. Students are encouraged to research employers, apply for positions, arrange interviews, upload résumés to participate in our résumé referral service, view career events, review resources, and conduct research. Students should contact Career Development if they have specific questions on how to set up their account, search for positions, or upload their résumé and/or other career documents.

Additional Career Development information and resources are located here. To schedule an appointment for assistance selecting a major, customizing your resume, developing your job search strategy, and reviewing potential interview questions, contact (419) 995-8352 or CareerDevelopment@RhodesState.edu.

Child Care

The Rhodes State College Early Learning Center at the Lima YMCA is available for students and staff with small children six weeks to six years at a reduced rate. All staff have their Child Development Associate (CDA) or degree in Early Childhood Education. The Center has been awarded the "Step Up to Quality" rating and strives to provide a program that includes a loving, nurturing environment, professional staff, and a developmentally appropriate curriculum that enables every child to grow and learn. Contact the Child Care Center at (419) 223-1044 or visit the Rhodes State College website for additional information.

Computer Resources

Computer labs are available for student use in various locations around campus. Students' username and password to use computers and email services are available 24 to 48 hours after acceptance to the College. Students with disabilities should contact Accommodative Services if adaptive equipment is needed. Operating hours are posted outside each lab.

Dental Hygiene Clinic

The Rhodes State College Dental Hygiene Clinic provides preventive dental hygiene treatment to include: an oral exam, radiographs (x-rays), oral prophylaxis (cleaning), fluoride treatment, dental sealants, and oral health instruction. The majority of these services are available without charge to the Rhodes State College students and employees. The Dr. Kenneth and Jean Clemens Clinic is located in Cook Hall; the hours vary from semester to semester.

Developmental Education

Rhodes State College evaluates students' academic preparedness by administering an assessment of reading, writing, and math skills upon admission. The information obtained during this assessment process is critical to proper course selection. To provide appropriate educational experiences aimed at strengthening a student's academic skills, taking developmental courses in reading, writing, math, or science is sometimes necessary. Developmental courses are designed to preserve and make possible educational opportunities for each student. They help to develop the skills, attitudes, and competencies necessary for success in college courses. Developmental courses do not count toward a student's graduation requirements. However, final grades in these courses do count in the grade point average.

The developmental courses normally offered and their credit hour values include:

Food Services

Limited food services are available in the OSU-Lima Perry Webb Student Life Building. Hours for food services are posted each semester. Vending machines offering snacks and beverages are located in all buildings.

Housing Information Service

Although most students commute daily from their homes, the College recognizes the group of students who need local housing. A listing of rental property management companies and a local residence hall-style housing unit is available in Public Service Building, Room 216. This listing is provided as information only. Rhodes State is NOT responsible for a student's choice of housing. The College does not inspect, approve, supervise, or maintain any properties for off-campus housing.

Internships and Experiential Learning

Internships and experiential learning are the connections that bridge academic coursework with program-related workforce experience while still in school. Here at Rhodes State College, most students must complete an experiential learning experience to graduate. These experiences will help students complete required credits, amplify skills, add to their career profiles, and heighten potential interest with future employers. Common names for required experiential learning experiences include work-based learning, internships, field experiences, practicums, clinicals, and externships. Some programs of study find employers for these experiences while other programs require students to secure their own. Students who must secure their own experience can begin their job search as soon as their first semester. The Internships and Experiential Learning Coordinator assists students with understanding experiential learning requirements, the processes in securing a position for credit, and position searches.

Student employment, co-op, internship, part-time, full-time, temporary, and volunteer opportunities are posted via the College Central Network. Students are encouraged to research employers, apply for positions, upload résumés to participate in our résumé referral service, view career events, review resources, and conduct research. Students should contact the Internship and Experiential Learning Coordinator if they have specific questions on how to set up their account, search for positions, upload their résumé, and/or other career documents.

Additional Internships and Experiential Learning information and resources are located . To schedule an appointment for internships and experiential learning assistance, contact (419) 995-8218 or here Miller.A16@RhodesState.edu .

Aim for Success with Accessibility Support from Sinclair

Mission Statement

Accessibility Services provides assistance to all qualified students with disabilities, whether they are physical, psychiatric or educational. You are required to register with the office and identify your needs in order to be eligible for academic adjustments. All services are based on individual needs. We are here to help you reach your academic goals.

Eligibility for Service

A qualified person with a disability is someone with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more life activities, who with or without accommodations, can meet the essential requirements for participation in a program.

Qualified individuals eligible for disability services need to produce required documentation of their disability and self identify their need for accommodations.

Thank you for reaching out to Accessibility Counseling Services. Please fill out this form and once submitted, a counselor will reach out to you to schedule an appointment with you. If this is an emergency/crisis, please call our office immediately at 937-512-3032, or contact Crisis Care at 937-224-4646.

Grievance Policy

The Office of Accessibility Services (hereafter "AS") at Sinclair College has the responsibility of determining a student's need for accommodations to address disability related barriers to equal access to education. This determination is made through an interview with the student and a review of documentation of that disability submitted by the student. If AS staff determine that a student is eligible for requested accommodations, AS is responsible for facilitating the accommodations. Please access to review more information on Sinclair's Accessibility Services Grievance Policy.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)/Section 504

Students or visitors in need of information regarding disability accommodations can contact Lorrie Spivey, Manager of Accessibility and Counseling Services and ADA/504 Coordinator for students and visitors, at lorrie.spivey@sinclair.edu or 937-512-3400.

General Information

Accessibility Services staff, students and instructors work as a team to provide reasonable accommodations, auxiliary aids and support services based on documentation, functional limitations and an assessment of needs. Accessibility Services does not guarantee to meet personal preference requests, but rather ensures that reasonable academic accommodations and auxiliary aids will be provided. Accessibility Services does not provide personal assistance or equipment (i.e. homework assistance, typing, personal laptops or personal aides.)

Documentation is collected and maintained separate from the student's college record and is kept in secure files by the Accessibility Services. Records are maintained for five years after a student's last date of attendance. After five years of non-attendance at Sinclair, records will be destroyed in a confidential manner.

Information regarding a student's disability is shared on a limited confidential need-to-know basis and then only when there is a compelling reason for such disclosure. This may mean sharing with faculty only the information that a student has a documented disability and need for accommodations.

Presentation Requests

If you would like a presentation by accessibility services, please fill out the form located in the link and we will get back to you.

The name, title and professional credentials of the evaluator should be clearly stated in the documentation. All reports should be on letterhead, typed, dated and signed.

Documentation should be recent (within 3 years) and validate the need for services based on the individual's current level of functioning in the educational setting.

Validation of a substantial limitation to learning or other major life activity must be provided. A comprehensive assessment battery and the resulting diagnostic report should include:

Diagnostic Interview Summary

Assessment

Specific Diagnosis

Test Scores

Clinical Summary

Aptitude - A complete intellectual assessment with all subtests and standard scores reported.

Academic Achievement - A comprehensive academic achievement battery is essential. The battery should include current levels of academic functioning in relevant areas such as reading (decoding and comprehension), mathematics, and oral and written language.

Information Processing - Specific areas of information processing (e.g., short- and long-term memory, sequential memory, auditory and visual perception/processing, processing speed, executive functioning and motor ability) should be assessed.

The data should logically reflect a substantial limitation to learning for which the student is requesting the accommodation. The particular profile of the student's strengths and weaknesses must be shown to relate to functional limitations that may necessitate accommodations.

A well written diagnostic summary base on a comprehensive evaluation process is a necessary component of the report. The diagnostic report should include specific recommendations for accommodations as well as an explanation as to why each accommodation is recommended. The evaluators should describe the impact the diagnosed learning disability has on a specific major life activity as well as the degree of significance of this impact on the individual. The evaluator should support recommendations with specific test results or clinical observations.

If accommodations are not clearly identified in a diagnostic report the student will be asked to seek clarification and, if necessary, more information. The final determination for providing appropriate and reasonable accommodations rests with the institution.

Accessibility at Ohio University means collectively working toward the creation of inclusive experiences for all members of our community. Inclusion and accessibility begins with providing transparent information about our institution as we continue to work toward our aspirations.

Ohio University embraces access and inclusion as the responsibility of our entire community, however Accessibility Services is the primary point of leadership and accountability. We work to achieve access and inclusion through multiple approaches:

Disability and accessibility planning and partnerships

Provision of accommodations and services for people with disabilities who are students, employees, and members of the public

Supporting departments and employees in the implementation of accessible and inclusive practices

The Accessibility Services website has been designed to support these approaches, but there is only so much you can learn from a website. Questions or concerns regarding disability and accessibility at Ohio University are always welcomed.

Our Mission

The mission of Accessibility Services is to ensure equal opportunity and access for members of the Ohio University community. Central to this mission is the development of an academic environment that is accessible to all people without the need for adaptation. While working toward the goal of full inclusion, accommodations must still be provided on an individual basis.

Accessibility Services coordinates accommodations and connects students with disabilities to the most relevant campus resources. Accessibility coordinators review documentation and determine eligibility according to the framework of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

At Student Life Disability Services (SLDS), we are committed to creating an accessible educational experience for students with disabilities. We partner with students, faculty and staff to design accessible environments and to provide academic accommodations and support services.

Access matters, because:

Students with disabilities make up an important cross-section of Ohio State. Approximately 1 out of 5 undergraduate students and 1 out of 8 grad students have a disability (source).

It allows students to learn and be evaluated fairly, based on their merits (not based on their disability-related barriers).

It creates pathways for students with disabilities to achieve their full potential, leading to higher retention, graduation, and employment rates.

Self-Disclose

You need to disclose your disability to OAE by sending an email to disability@bw.edu. Under the ADA and the Rehabilitation Act, people with disabilities have a right to equal educational opportunities. By law, a student is not a person with a disability until he/she chooses to identify as such and request protection from discrimination. If a student does not disclose a disability and follow the process, he/she is responsible for the academic outcome.

Complete OAE Online Application

For students new to accessible education, complete the application for accommodations using the Accessible Education Online System. Please have your BW ID number ready and use your BW email address. If you have any questions please contact disability@bw.edu.

Click here to begin your application.

Submit Appropriate Documentation

Current documentation of your disability and the disability-related need for any specific accommodation(s) being requested. Current documentation is necessary for verification purposes and to determine reasonable academic accommodations. The cost of the documentation is your responsibility.

If you do not have documentation to upload during your application, you will receive an email with a documentation upload link. Please share this link with your diagnostician or healthcare provider, who can upload the documentation on your behalf. Also, documentation can be emailed to disability@bw.edu or sent to our confidential fax, (440) 826.3832. Please Note: Submission of documentation does not guarantee approval of the requested accommodation(s).

Please use the general documentation guidelines and appropriate verification forms (located under forms, below) to assist in the documentation process.

Attend a Student Welcome Meeting

Upon receipt of the application and documentation, OAE will schedule a student welcome meeting. The purpose of the student welcome meeting is to discuss the impact, nature and functional limitations of the disability and to determine which, if any, academic accommodations are reasonable and appropriate. Appropriate accommodations are determined on an individual, case-by-case basis.

Typically, the process of registering with OAE is quite quick. Factors that may hold up the registration process may include: submission of appropriate supporting documentation, scheduling and attending the student welcome meeting, and timing of the request during the semester.

Students with disabilities, who wish to request accommodations, should register with the counselor for disability services early in the semester. This allows time for appropriate arrangements to be made, if appropriate. In accordance with federal laws, students requesting accommodations must provide documentation of their disability to the counselor for disability services, Jacqui Slinger, in the Learning Resource Center located in College Hall. She may be reached at 419-358-3215 or by email at slingerj@bluffton.edu

Bluffton University does not discriminate against qualified students with disabilities. The mission of disability services at Bluffton University is to ensure that qualified students with disabilities are provided access to all programs in order to maximize their educational potential, develop independence to the fullest extent possible and perform at a level limited only by their abilities, not their disabilities.

Any student, faculty or staff member may contact the ADA coordinator's office for clarification of federal regulations, appeal of a grievance or resolution of a disability-related problem.

Emotional Service Animals

Bluffton University recognizes the importance of "Service Animals" as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) and "Emotional Support Animals" (ESA), which are a separate category of animals that provide necessary, disability-related emotional support to an individual with a mental or psychiatric disability that alleviates one or more identified symptoms of an individual's disability, but which are not considered Service Animals under the ADAAA. The university is committed to allowing individuals with disabilities full-participation and equal access to the university's programs and activities, including university housing.

ESA request form

Disability Discrimination
Procedures
Bluffton University's policy is to provide students a prompt and fair method of resolving complaints of discrimination based upon a disability.

Complaints of discrimination based on a disability must be forwarded in writing to the counselor for disability services, Bluffton University, 1 University Drive, Bluffton, OH 45817-2104. For additional information, call 419-358-3215.

A complaint must be filed in writing within 15 working days after the complainant becomes aware of the alleged violation.

Following the filing of a complaint an appropriate investigation shall follow due process procedures including an opportunity for the complainant to be heard and present witnesses and other evidence. The investigation shall be conducted by the counselor for disability services.

A written determination of findings and a description of the resolution shall be issued by the counselor for disability services and forwarded to the complainant as soon as the investigation is completed, normally no later than 30 working days after the filing of the complaint.

Americans with Disabilities Act Title III

"The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990, by President George H.W. Bush. The ADA is one of America's most comprehensive pieces of civil rights legislation that prohibits discrimination and guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else to participate in the mainstream of American life -- to enjoy employment opportunities, to purchase goods and services, and to participate in State and local government programs and services. Modeled after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin - and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 -- the ADA is an "equal opportunity" law for people with disabilities."

The Cove provides academic resources and support to all students, while Disability Services works specifically with students who qualify for accessibility accommodations because of the impact of a diagnosed disability.

Disability Services is the office designated by Cedarville University to:

1. Evaluate accommodation requests related to the impact of a diagnosed disability.

2. Determine reasonable accommodations for qualified students with disabilities.

3. Keep record of documentation in support of a student's disability.

How will I know whether or not to register with Disability Services?

The purpose of accommodations through Disability Services is to enable access because there is a functional limitation. When the impact of your diagnosis creates an educational barrier and interferes with your equal access to educational opportunity, consider applying to Disability Services to request accommodations. A diagnosis alone does not qualify you for accommodations, but if the impact of your diagnosis is substantially limiting, and you would not have access to the same educational opportunity as other students because of your limitations, then accommodations may be needed.

Will my 504 or IEP transfer to Cedarville University?

504 plans and IEPs apply to K-12 and do not transfer to postsecondary schools. In the postsecondary setting, students with disabilities have to self-identify and make the request for accommodations.

For additional information on what to expect when transitioning from high school, visit www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/transition.

How do I request accommodations?

To request accommodations at Cedarville University, you will complete the Application to Disability Services, provide third-party professional documentation that evaluates your disability, and make the request for accommodations based on the impact of your disability.

Is there a deadline for applying to Disability Services?

There isn't a deadline to apply for accommodations, but if you are a first-time student at Cedarville, it is best to submit your application during the month before you arrive on campus if requesting academic accommodations and in March if an accessible housing accommodation is needed. To avoid delays in processing your application, plan to allow enough time for scheduling and attending the necessary appointments so you are able to obtain your documentation and submit it with your application.

Will the accommodations that I request be approved?

Your accommodation request and supporting professional documentation will be evaluated on an individual basis by our Disability Services team. We will look for a direct nexus between the functional limitations resulting from your diagnosis and the accommodation being requested. Keep in mind that personal services or personal equipment are not provided as accommodations.

Is there additional help for my classes?

The Cove offers academic coaching appointments, drop-in math tutoring labs, peer review sessions for specific courses, and peer tutoring appointments for any course. These services are available to all students. You will be able to sign up for appointments or view the math lab and peer coaching schedules during the semester by visiting the Tutoring Services webpage.

The Office of Learning Resource (OLR) ensures that students with disabilities have equal access to educational opportunities at the University of Dayton so they can participate in all facets of university life. The University of Dayton is committed to including individuals with disabilities as full participants in its programs, services and activities through compliance with all applicable state and federal laws.

Everything we know about learning today tells us that effective teaching is not simply about delivering content. It is about what and how much content, when and how it is provided to students, how we ask them to engage with it, how we support them in the process of learning, and how we assess what they have learned. It is also about teachers continuing to learn ways to facilitate their students' learning.

Our office is dedicated to keeping all personal student information confidential and complies with the standards set by the Family Education Records and Privacy Act (FERPA), applicable federal and/or state law and university practice. Disability information will be maintained by our office in a secure environment.

Overview, Policies & Accommodations

A wide range of services to provide equal access to the educational experience is offered for students with disabilities, including reasonable accommodations and auxiliary services. In supporting our students as they move toward graduation and the world of work, they are strongly encouraged to be self-advocates regarding accessibility-related issues.

A student with a disability who thinks he or she may need an accommodation to access a campus program, activity, or service should contact the Academic Resource Center to discuss their specific needs. Advance notice is required to evaluate the request and provide notice or arrangements for any accommodation. Denison University relies on the Academic Resource Center in Higley Hall 020 to verify the need for reasonable accommodations based on documentation on file in this office.

The Productivity Circle

Academic Resource Center, in collaboration with Counseling Services, offers a group for students who would like to learn more skills to manage symptoms of ADHD. A formal diagnosis of ADHD is not necessary to attend. This group emphasizes psychoeducation about ADHD and how it may impact a student in college. Students learn strategies to increase success in academia, build new habits to improve overall wellness, and gain support for making the transition to college. This group emphasizes the strengths and talents of students with ADHD.

Definition of a Disability A person has a disability if he or she has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more "major life activities." Major life activities include functions such as walking, seeing, hearing, breathing, learning, working, caring for oneself, and performing manual tasks.

Diagnosis by a Qualified Professional Students requesting services should provide information of their disability by a qualified professional. A "qualified professional" has significant experience diagnosing and/or treating a given disorder. The information should provide a diagnosis of the type of disability and a specific description of how the disability interferes with educational achievement.

Confidentiality Statement Disability information is shared only on a limited basis within the University and only when there is compelling need to communicate with faculty and staff in order to achieve implementation of reasonable accommodations.

Self-identification of a Disability To be eligible for accommodations, you must self-identify as a person with a disability or impairment to the Office of Accessibility Services. Disclosure of this information is voluntary, and no adverse consequences will result from providing this information.

Disability/Impairment Guidelines If the information on the submitted form is incomplete or inadequate, you may be required to provide additional information. You are responsible for any costs associated with obtaining documentation. Accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the nature of the disability and the information provided.

Success Strategies for Students with Disabilities

Identify problems that repeatedly get in your way.
If you're feeling frustrated, try to figure out why you are feeling that way and how you can problem-solve. Some questions you can ask yourself: "Am I frustrated because my disability sometimes requires me to work harder than other students? Do I need a study buddy? Should I work on this course in smaller bites because it's so difficult for me?"

Success Strategies for Instructors Working with Students with Disabilities

"The design of products and environments to be usable by all students, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design." Proactively creating and promoting a more accessible and inclusive Franklin University environment that offers access as part of the natural educational experience.

Disabled individuals must be able to:

Engage in the same activities

Access the same information; and

Enjoy the same services and benefits as a person without a disability

This access must occur:

In an equally effective and integrated manner

With substantially equivalent ease of use; and

Free of discrimination

Franklin University does not discriminate on the basis of age, religion, race, ethnicity, color, national origin, ancestry, immigration status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital or familial status, disability, or veteran or military status. For inquiries about the University's non-discrimination policies, please contact the Equity and Title IX Coordinator, Brandon Perry at 614-947-6913 or TitleIX@franklin.edu.

Student Accessibility Services (SAS) provides accommodations and support for students with disabilities. Our goal is to provide students with disabilities an equal opportunity to competitively pursue a college education.

Types of Disabilities may include: Medical/physical (e.g., cerebral palsy, cancer, traumatic brain injury); Sensory (e.g., hearing or visual impairment); Psychological (e.g., ADHD, ASD, Depression); Learning (e.g., dyslexia, dyscalculia).

If you would like assistance with accommodations, you must contact Student Accessibility Services. Documentation and verification of disability are required. Specific information regarding documentation and accommodations, as well as other applicable information about SAS and our services, can be found here on our website alternatively, students can contact our office by emailing sas@jcu.edu.

Students are encouraged to apply for services well in advance of their first semester. An intake appointment with an SAS staff member is necessary before any accommodations are granted.

Laws & Definitions

Section 504
Section 504 states, "No otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States, as defined in section 705(20) of this title, 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 or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."

Definition of a Disability
An individual is considered to have a "disability" if s/he has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, has a record of such an impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment.

Student Rights & Responsibilities

The Student Accessibility Services office at JCU coordinates all services for students with disabilities. To register for services follow our registration procedures. The services include, but are not limited to:

Testing Consultation/Referral

Intake/Needs Assessment

Accommodations (i.e. Academic, Housing, Meal Plan, ESA)

Advocacy

Adaptive Technology

Academic accommodations include services like extended test time, audio recording lectures, or a quiet testing location. These services are designed to overcome deficits created by the disability and allow the student to display his/her mastery of the material.

These accommodations are academic adaptations that do not compromise academic standards or the mastery of essential course elements, but provide students with disabilities an equal opportunity to succeed. Academic Accommodations provide equal access to facilities (e.g., wheelchair accessibility) and academic information.

Since the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 guarantee equal access, not success; individual success is up to each student. We encourage students to develop self-advocacy, empowerment, responsibility, independence, personal growth, and to develop and use compensatory skills.

Student Rights & Responsibilities

Qualified students with disabilities have the right to an equal opportunity to participate in programs offered through John Carroll University. Students who choose to exercise these rights have the responsibility to initiate and participate in the accommodation process. Recognizing this, students:

Have a responsibility to identify themselves as needing accommodation in a timely fashion. Each student must provide documentation from an appropriate licensed professional.

Have a responsibility to document how their disability affects a particular delivery system, instructional method, or evaluation criteria when requesting accommodation.

Have a responsibility to actively participate in the search for accommodations and auxiliary aids.

Have the responsibility of notifying their instructors of their disability and providing them with letters of accommodation (LOA's).

Have the responsibility to communicate to their professors their individual needs and work with their professors on methods of accommodation.

Have the responsibility to schedule exams 7 days in advance of test date.

Have the same obligation as any student to meet and maintain the institution's academic and technical standards.

Have a right to be evaluated based on their ability, not their disability. If their disability affects the outcome of an evaluation method they are entitled to an evaluation by alternate means.

Are entitled to an equal opportunity to learn. If the location, delivery system or instructional methodology limits their access, participation, or ability to benefit, they have a right to reasonable alterations (to be determined by University officials) in those aspects of the course (or program) to accommodate their disability.

Are entitled to an equal opportunity to participate in all aspects of the academic community at a comparable level that is provided to any student.

Have a right to appeal decisions concerning accommodations.

Disability Assistance

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Each student who applies to the Academic Support Center for accommodations is evaluated on an individual basis, and all disability-related information is kept confidential within the Academic Support Center office. If a student qualifies for academic accommodations, the Academic Support Center will notify faculty of the accommodations needed. Granted accommodations will be in effect after receipt of required documentation.

Provisional or temporary disability accommodations may be approved for students for the remaining portion of the semester they are enrolled in, should they provide adequate proof, as deemed acceptable by Kettering College, showing they are actively engaging in a diagnostic process with a medical provider that would delay receipt of documentation by 30 days or more or other extenuating circumstances exist.
Eligibility for Service
A qualified person with a disability is someone with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more life activities, who with or without accommodations, can meet the essential requirements for participation in a program.
Sources and forms of appropriate documentation
Documentation should be provided by a licensed or otherwise properly credentialed professional who has no personal relationship with the student, but who preferably knows the history of the student's disability.

Depending on the disability, appropriate documentation may include data and assessments from health care providers, educational assessments, mental health assessments, and psychoeducational evaluations. All costs associated with necessary assessments, testing, and evaluations are the responsibility of the student. Documentation should be relevant to the student's current level of disability.

Documentation should be in the form of a letter or report on official letterhead and signed by the evaluator qualified to make the diagnosis. Documentation should be current, preferably not older than 3 to 5 years.
Confidentiality
Student Disability documentation is collected and maintained separate from the student's college record and is kept in secure files by the Director of Disability Services. Information shared with faculty includes that a student has a documented disability and the need for accommodations.
Examples of Accommodations
Depending on the documented disability, eligible students may receive accommodations such as:

extended test time

testing environment with reduced distractions

assistive technology/software

reading or writing assistance

class notes

test reader

other accommodations as needed

Disability Accommodation Appeal Process
If a student has been denied a disability accommodation request, or if an accommodation approved by the Academic Support Services Office has been denied by a staff, faculty, or department, the student has the right to appeal such decisions. The student should first meet with the Director of Academic Support Services for resolution. If resolution is not met, the student should next initiate an appeal to the Academic Dean. Should the student disagree with the decision of these parties, the student has the right to appeal with the Office of Civil Rights (OCR). To file a complaint fill out the electronic form that can be found at www.ada.gov/complaint/.
Service Animals
Kettering College follows the ADA and the most recent guidance from the Department of Justice regarding service dogs. Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, actively calming a person with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person's disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.

In accordance with applicable law, Kettering College permits service dogs in campus buildings, classrooms, residence halls, offices, dining facilities, recreational facilities, and most areas where the handler is permitted. Exceptions may include areas or situations where the dog is a threat to the health and safety of others or when the presence of the dog constitutes a fundamental alteration to a program or service. A service dog can be any breed, any size, and while the dog may wear a specialized vest, it is not legally required to do so.

While students coming to campus with service dogs are not required to register with the Academic Support Center, Kettering College encourages students to partner with the Academic Support Center, particularly if other accommodations may be necessary in order to afford the student equal access to College programs and services. Additionally, students living in residence halls are strongly encouraged to contact the Student Life office to give advance notice of the intent to bring the service dog to campus.
Campus Community Etiquette Because service dogs are working dogs, the campus community should know the following:

Allow a service dog to accompany its handler everywhere on campus.

Do not pet a service dog

Speak to the handler first, not the dog

Do not ask about a handler's disability

Do not offer food to a service dog

Do not attempt to separate a service dog from its handler

Do not tease or startle a service dog

Do not interrupt a service dog while it is working

Handler's Responsibilities

1. The handler must effectively control the dog at all times. Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal's work or the individual's disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls.

2. The care and well-being of the service dog are the sole responsibilities of the handler. The handler is responsible for maintaining the dog's health and cleanliness, including using flea and tick control.

3. The handler must ensure that the service dog abides by local ordinances, including vaccinations and licensure.

4. The service dog must wear its current rabies tag and license tag at all times.

5. The handler is financially responsible for the actions of the service dog, including bodily injury to others and/or property damage. Any damage to Kettering College property will be the responsibility of the handler.

6. The handler should be prepared at all times to immediately clean up the dog's waste.

Removal of a Service Dog
A service dog may be removed from Kettering College premises until the handler is able to demonstrate that the dog's behavior has been corrected if the dog is not housebroken, the dog is a direct threat to the health and safety of others, or the service dog is not well controlled.
Miniature Horses
In addition to the provisions about service dogs, the U.S. Department of Justice/Civil Rights Division/Disability Rights Section revised ADA regulations have a new, separate provision about miniature horses that have been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. (Miniature horses generally range in height from 24 inches to 34 inches measured to the shoulders and generally weigh between 70 and 100 pounds.) Entities covered by the ADA must modify their policies to permit miniature horses where reasonable. The regulations set out four assessment factors to assist entities in determining whether miniature horses can be accommodated in their facility. The assessment factors are (1) whether the miniature horse is housebroken; (2) whether the miniature horse is under the owner's control; (3) whether the facility can accommodate the miniature horse's type, size, and weight; and (4) whether the miniature horse's presence will not compromise legitimate safety requirements necessary for safe operation of the facility.

The Office of Accessibility

So that all students at Lourdes University have an equal opportunity for personally and academically rewarding experiences, the Office of Accessibility Services provides reasonable accommodations, support services, and auxiliary aids for students with disabilities and/or medical conditions. The Office of Accessibility Services administers accommodations for eligible students to remove barriers to full participation in University life.

Accommodations are individually designed and based on the specific needs of each student as identified by our Office of Accessibility Services. Some examples include approval for service and support animals, extended test-taking time, note-taking services and alternative format textbooks.

Accessibility Services brochures that provide accessibility and parking information are available at the Welcome Center and the Office of Accessibility Services, located in the Academic Success Center.
Disabilities served include, but are not limited to:

Chronic illnesses

Communication disorders

Learning disabilities

Auditory, mobility, systemic, emotional and visual conditions

We realize that circumstances differ among individuals. If you are having problems with your classes, your disability, and/or your accomodations, please talk with the Office of Accessibility Services so that adjustments can be discussed. It is important to address the small problems before they become large.

Students who wish to register with the Office of Accessibility Services for accommodations should follow this three step process:

1. Complete a Disability Disclosure and Accommodation Request Form online or on campus at the Office of Accessibility Services.

2. Submit documentation of a disability to the OAS via fax, email, or in-person. The following forms can be helpful, and usually can be dropped off at a qualifying health care provider's office for completion:

Healthcare Provider Documentation Form

A letter from a health care provider that includes the following information may be submitted:
- must be on letterhead with date and signature
- include a diagnostic statement of the disability with date of diagnosis
- severity of disability/medical condition
- impact of disability in relation to accommodations requested
- recommended accommodations that may assist the student in minimizing the impact of the condition

Students who have an IEP or 504 plan from high school may submit this documentation for consideration, as often this provides diagnosis and prior accommodations information.

3. Once information is received in our office and reviewed, we will contact you through your Lourdes University email for an intake appointment to discuss the impact of the disability/medical condition in relation to your academics, information from the documentation, and accommodations. Students are not considered registered with the Office of Accessibility Services until after the intake appointment.

If you would like to discuss the registration process, please contact:

The primary mission of the Office of Accessibility is to provide equal access to all opportunities for Mercy College students and to enhance academic and personal development through advocacy, education, and accommodations.

The Office of Accessibility is committed to enhancing student's academic development and independence, and will work with students on an individual basis to assess reasonable academic accommodations that provide equal access to full participation in the college environment.
Equal Access for Students
Mercy College of Ohio is committed to making individuals with disabilities full participants in its programs, services and activities through compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. It is the policy of Mercy College that no otherwise qualified individual with a disability shall be denied access to, the benefits of, or participation in, any program, service or activity offered by the college.

As such, individuals with disabilities have a right to request reasonable accommodations. Reasonable accommodations provide equal access for students to fully participate in or benefit from the college's programs, services, and activities in a non-discriminatory, integrated manner.

All college representatives, including faculty, staff and students are responsible for the implementation of this policy and adherence to the principles of equal access.

Confidentiality

Information regarding student diagnoses/disability/medical condition is kept confidential to the highest extent possible, and documentation of disability is maintained in the Accessibility Services, separate from students' academic records. Accessibility Services may discuss accommodations for students to faculty and staff as it relates to their courses.

Requesting and Receiving Accommodations

Students wanting accommodations due to a disability/medical condition should review the ADA Policy (below) and then submit a Disability Disclosure and Accommodations Request form. Documentation/evidence of disability/medical condition supporting the need for the requested accommodations should also be submitted (also see Documentation of Disability Form - Diagnosing Clinician below).

* New students should request accommodations at least three weeks prior to the beginning of the semester so that accommodations can be in place when the semester begins.

* Current students should request accommodations as soon as the need arises if sudden onset (illness/injury).

Requesting and receiving accommodations is an interactive process between Accessibility Services, the student, documentation review, consultation with health care providers as needed, and discussion with faculty regarding accommodations when appropriate.

Accommodations are approved on a case-by-case basis, according to the impact of the diagnosis on the individual student. Most accommodations approvals may take a week or longer to process. Accessibility Services also collaborates with faculty, staff, and individual students to advocate for temporary accommodations needs due to illness/injury.

Student Accessibility Services Faculty FAQ

1: What is Student Accessibility Services?

Mount Carmel College of Nursing is committed to serving qualified students with academic and/or non-academic disabilities in its programs and services; Student Accessibility Services provides this service to MCCN students.

2: How long does it take after the Request for Accommodations Form (RAF) and Healthcare Provider Form (HPF) are submitted for student's accommodations to be approved?

After the Accommodations Coordinator receives both the RAF and HPF the Coordinator will contact the student via email within 3 business days to schedule an intake appointment.

After the intake appointment is complete and the student has received a signed Approved Accommodations Form then the accommodations can begin.

3: How long are a student's accommodations good for?

Approved Accommodations are good for 1 year. Temporary Approved Accommodations are valid for 30-90 days.

1 week before the accommodation has expired the Accommodations Coordinator will contact the student to schedule a time to meet and renew their accommodations.

4: Why is a student issued a temporary accommodation?

There is not one reason why a temporary accommodation is issued because accommodations are handled on a case-by-case basis.

However, a common reason that temporary accommodations are issued is because the Accommodations Coordinator is waiting for the receipt of supporting medical documentation. Please note that according to the 2008 amendments to the ADA act the primary form of documentation of a student's disability is self-report. Self-report is defined as information the student provides regarding how he or she may be "limited by [an] impairment."

5: Can a faculty member refer a student to Student Accessibility Services if they believe they need an accommodation?

No, Student Accessibility Services does not suggest that faculty members refer students for accommodations. Current interpretations of disability laws forbid unnecessary inquiry into the existence of a disability. Additionally, this inquiry could be viewed by the student as insensitive and intrusive.

SAS recommends that faculty make a verbal statement about SAS to the entire class so the students are aware that this option is available.

If a student identifies themselves as having a disability or feels that they may have a disability, the faculty member may refer the student to Student Accessibility Services at this point.

6: If I am having trouble supporting an accommodations request, who should I contact?

First, the faculty member should try to work with the student to implement the accommodations. If the faculty member does not feel comfortable working with the student, then they may contact the Accommodations Coordinator.

7: How do I know if an accommodation is reasonable?

The Accommodations Coordinator determines what a reasonable accommodation is according to a student's intake appointment, healthcare provider form, and applicable law. If a faculty member feels the accommodation is not reasonable they may contact the Accommodations Coordinator via email at accessibility@mccn.edu. In your email please include the name of the student and your course number.

Once the Accommodations Coordinator receives your email she will reach out to you schedule an appointment.

8: Where can I find more information about Student Accessibility Services?

For additional information faculty members should log into CARMELink and follow this path:

Faculty and Staff > Student Accessibility Services

Also, faculty members can follow this link to join the SAS canvas course.
https://mccn.instructure.com/enroll/BDNLE9
9: Who is responsible for informing faculty about approved accommodations through Student Accessibility Services?

The student must tell each faculty member that they are receiving accommodations through SAS. Once the student has self-identified, the faculty member and the student can begin to implement the approved accommodations.

10: How is it determined if the healthcare provider is qualified to suggest an accommodation treatment plan?

Once the Accommodations Coordinator receives an HPF they pull the provider's license number. The providers address is checked for accuracy and the provider's credentials and/or board certification should match the type of accommodation being requested.

Remember, regulations state that the purpose of the ADA amendments "is to make it easier for people with disabilities to obtain protection under the ADA."ix.

Any additional questions can be sent to the Accommodations Coordinator via email at accessibility@mccn.edu.

Student's Responsibilities

Students that receive academic or non-academic adjustments through Student Accessibility Services must remain in contact with the Accommodations Coordinator. Each student is expected to complete the following tasks after receiving their Approved Accommodations form:

Student Responsibility #1

Meet with the Accommodations Coordinator at the end of each semester to discuss their progress and any needed adjustments to their accommodations.

Student Responsibility #2

A student must notify the Accommodations Coordinator immediately if the student feels their accommodations are not being met. Notification can be submitted in person or in writing.

Student Responsibility #3

If a student chooses not to use the accommodation(s), the student is required to contact the Accommodations Coordinator in writing stating he/she will not be utilizing the accommodation(s). Contact information for the Coordinator is listed below:

The Accommodations Coordinator is located in Marian Hall room 2C17, Monday-Friday, 8:00am - 4:00pm.

The most frequent accommodations are listed below. Other accommodations may be provided as needed, upon request.
Textbooks in Audio/Digital format
Students who have documented need for auditory access of textbook material may request textbooks in audio/digital format. Textbook information should be sent via email at least three weeks before the beginning of each semester. Information should include the ISBN number. Proof of ownership or rental receipt must be presented before the student receives the alternative media. Should a textbook not be available in digital format from the publisher the student's purchased textbook can be scanned and process to digital format. The process includes removal of the binding therefore the book would not be eligible for return, if rented. Students receive the audio/digital formats on USB flash drives which are to be returned at the end of each semester.
Note Takers
Students who have documented needs for assistance with hand-written notes in class may request notes that are taken by another student in said class. Peer note takers serve as volunteers when available. Best practices have proven that using a personal recorder is a preferreda alternative to a classmate note taker. Notetaking is requested at the time of accommodation request meeting. Frequently students know a fellow classmate that can serve as their note taker. Students are permitted to use personal recorders for class lectures.
Alternative Testing Methods
Students who have a need for alternative testing methods, such as extended time, tests read orally, or testing in a non-distracting environment, may have tests administered in an alternate location selected by the professor or in the Test Center. Classes for which the student prefers to use alternative testing methods must be listed on the Request for Accommodations and communicated to each professor. It is recommended that the student meet personally with each professor to communicate their needs in order to provide the professor an opportunity to support the student in their ability to perform at their best of their abilities. Following Test Center procedures, students email the professor 3 days prior to the test date and make an appointment with the Test Center 2 days prior to the test date. When a test reader or scribe are part of the accommodation the Test Center must receive a 3 day notice to secure that extra staff will be available.

Other individualized accommodations may include, adaptive technology, request for single housing, Emotional Support Animals, and Academic Peer Mentors.
Accommodations for Physical Disabilities
Accommodations regarding adaptations or modifications to classrooms or other locations should be communicated as soon as possible to allow for Facility Services to be scheduled.
Appropriate Use of Accessibility Services or Institutional Policy
Students with disabilities are responsible for adhering to the same academic standards, behavioral expectations, and ethical conduct as all other students on campus. Students who use Accessibility Services must follow the Accessibility Services Policies and Procedures of the Center for Student Success so that services can be provided in the most effective manner possible.

All course requirements, as stated in course syllabi, are required by students with disabilities, subject to reasonable accommodations which do not substantially alter the course requirements or expectations.

Reasonable accommodations cannot substantively change a course. The boundaries of substantive change are at the discretion of the professor. Arrangements for accommodations must be made in a timely manner so that professors have adequate preparation time for reasonable adjustments.

Pursuant to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and its implementing regulations ("Section 504"), no otherwise qualified individual with a disability shall, solely by reason of his/her disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. The University does not discriminate in admission or access to, participation in, or employment in, its programs or activities.

The President has designated the Director of Accreditation and Assessment as the University's Section 504 Compliance Officer (hereinafter "Compliance Officer"), whose responsibility it shall be to coordinate the University's efforts to comply with applicable Federal and State laws and regulations, including the University's duty to address any inquiries or complaints regarding discrimination or denial of equal access. The Compliance Officer has been trained in the requirements of Section 504 and the ADA and is responsible for providing proper notice of non-discrimination for Title II, Title IX of the Education Amendment Act of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Act to students, faculty, staff members, and the general public.

Applicable Definitions: As used in this policy, "an individual with a disability" means a person who has had a record of, or is regarded as having, a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. Major life activities include, but are not limited to, functions such as caring for one's self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, eating, sleeping, standing, lifting, bending, reading, concentrating, thinking, communicating, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning and working. Major life activities also include the operation of a major bodily function, including but not limited to functions of the immune system, normal cell growth, digestive, bowel, bladder, neurological, brain, respiratory, circulatory, endocrine, and reproductive functions. With respect to the University's education programs or activities, only students who have an actual disability are entitled to accommodation, although all students who met the definition of a disability (e.g., being regarded as disabled or having a record of a disability), are protected from discrimination. Also as used within this policy, a qualified person with a disability means a student with a diagnosed disability who meets the academic and technical standards requisite for admission to or participation in the University's education program or activity. As used in this policy, "accommodations" include academic adjustments, auxiliary aids and services, or other reasonable accommodations.

Application for Accommodation:

It is the responsibility of the student with a disability to identify him/herself to the 504 Compliance Officer, who may be contacted by telephone, facsimile, email, mail, or in person via:

It is the responsibility of the student with a disability to provide person identified above the required documentation in order to request and, if appropriate, receive any accommodation. Given the specific nature of each student's disability, the appropriate accommodation shall be determined on an individual basis. Students who wish to request an accommodation are required to submit a written request for accommodation to the University's Section 504 Compliance Officer. Students must use the University approved "Request for Accommodation" form that may be obtained from the 504 Compliance Officer or via the list of forms below. Students requesting an accommodation are also required to provide documentation that supports the existence of a current disability to the University. Generally, such documentation will need to include information from a qualified healthcare professional that: (1) provides a current diagnosis of the disability, (2) indicates information about the severity and longevity of the disability, and (3) may offer suggestions and/or recommendations for necessary and appropriate accommodation(s). For the purposes of this policy, "current" typically means within this last three years, although this timeframe is a guideline, which may be modified, depending on the circumstances, on a case-by-case basis. A "qualified healthcare professional" includes a licensed school psychologist, licensed psychologist, licensed rehabilitation counselor, speech and language pathologist, physician, or other appropriate medical/healthcare professional.

In order to facilitate the University's efforts to provide a requested academic accommodation students who request an accommodation may be required to complete the University approved "Verification of Disability" form that may be obtained from the Compliance Officer or via the list below. This form includes a limited release to be signed by the student, which will permit University officials to consult with the student's healthcare professional, for the purpose of clarifying a request for appropriate accommodation(s) in the academic setting. When requested, completed "Verification of Disability" forms must be returned to the University's Compliance Officer. Once the completed "Request for Accommodation" form (and when requested, the "Verification of Disability" form) is returned to the University Compliance Officer, it/they will be reviewed to ensure that: (1) the student is a qualified individual with a disability under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; and (2) they provides complete documentation. If necessary, the Compliance Officer will obtain knowledge about the disability or disabilities in question. Students will generally be contacted by the University's Compliance Officer within seven (7) school days about their eligibility determination status. Alternatively, the student may be requested to provide to the Compliance Officer supplemental information from his/her healthcare professional. If a student is determined to be a qualified student with a disability, he/she will meet with the University's Compliance Officer to discuss and determine the appropriate and reasonable academic adjustment(s), auxiliary aid(s) or service(s), or other reasonable accommodation(s). When an accommodation is approved, the Compliance Officer shall issue the student an "Accommodation Approval Letter." Thereafter, the student is responsible for informing his/her professor of the approved accommodation(s). The University cannot provide information about a student's disability to anyone without the student's consent and shall not be responsible for informing professors about a student's request and/or need for an accommodation. Students who intend to seek an academic accommodation are encouraged to notify their professors of such intent during their first week of classes in order to provide the faculty member ample notification to make arrangements for a proctor, separate room for testing, or other special accommodation. Unless circumstances make such notice unreasonable or not feasible, students are generally asked to provide a faculty member with at least seven (7) days' notice prior to the need for the accommodation. The University will make reasonable efforts to provide the accommodation in as timely a manner as possible. The University and its faculty and/or staff are not required to make any academic adjustment or accommodation that alters the integrity or essential components or technical standards of a course or program. If a faculty member believes that one or more of the requested accommodations will fundamentally alter the nature of the course or program, he/she should discuss the concern with the University's Section

504 Compliance Officer, who will determine if the expressed concern is valid. In such cases, the decision of the Compliance Officer is final, except that the student may avail himself or herself of the grievance procedure referenced below.

Resolution of Disagreements: In accordance with 34 C.F.R. 104.7, the University has adopted grievance procedures to provide for the resolution of student, faculty, and staff complaints/grievances alleging violations of Section 504/ADA. A copy of the grievance procedures (Faculty, Staff, & Visitor - Student) may be obtained from the Compliance Officer or via the forms listed below. Please refer to these procedures for further information. A designee of the Compliance Officer shall be responsible for the investigation of any complaints of discrimination based on disability, or any grievance, which may be filed pursuant to the University's adopted grievance procedures, and will attempt to resolve such complaints and/or grievances.

Publication: Notice of the University's policy on non-discrimination and access to equal educational opportunities shall be posted on the University's website and published in the University's general information handbooks.

To this nation's over 43 million citizens with disabilities, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) represents an unprecedented opportunity to eliminate the barriers to independence and productivity.

The ADA is modeled after the Civil Rights Act and Title V of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (e.g., the definition of a "qualified person with a disability" is the same and similar accommodations/modifications are mandated). The Bill was originally drafted by the National Council on Disability and is supported by every major disability organization. The ADA was signed into law in July 1990, and amended in 2008.

What is the purpose of ADA?
The purpose of ADA is to extend to people with disabilities civil rights similar to those now available to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, and religion through the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

What does ADA do?
It prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in private sector employment, services rendered by state and local governments, places of public accommodation, transportation, telecommunications and relay services.

Who is protected under ADA?
Under the ADA a person has a disability if he/she has a substantial physical or mental impairment, has a record of such impairment or is regarded as having such an impairment even if they are not continuously impaired by their disability, (e.g. random epileptic attacks), or have a personal relationship with someone with a known disability. Personal relationships are not limited to family members.

A substantial impairment is one that significantly limits or restricts a major life activity. It includes conditions controlled by medication such as epilepsy or depression or those mitigated by a prosthetic device. Major life activities include (but are not limited to) performing manual tasks, Learning, walking, working, seeing, caring for oneself, hearing, breathing, eating, sleeping, speaking, reading, learning, concentrating, thinking, and communicating.
THE REHABILITATION ACT of 1973, SECTION 504
What is Section 504?
"No otherwise qualified disabled individual in the United States...shall, solely by reason of... disability, be excluded from participating in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance."

A disabled person is "any person who has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more of such person's major life activities, has a record of such an impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment." This includes (but is not limited to) persons with mental retardation; specific learning disabilities; psychiatric problems; traumatic head or spinal cord injuries; orthopedic handicaps; neurological impairments; chronic illness; drug or alcohol addiction (i.e., former users only); and visual, hearing, or speech impairments.

A qualified disabled person is defined as one who meets the requisite academic and technical standards required for admission or participation in the post-secondary institution's programs and activities. Section 504 protects the civil rights of individuals who are qualified to participate and who meet the definition of a disabled person as defined above.

For college students with disabilities, academic adjustments may include such things as adaptations in the way specific course material is presented, the use of auxiliary equipment and support staff, and modifications in academic requirements. A college or university has the flexibility to select the aid or service it provides, as long as it is effective. Such aids or services should be selected in consultation with the student who will use them.

Accommodations include such things as removing architectural barriers; providing readers, note takers, and/or interpreters for classes and related course activities; providing alterations, substitutions, or waivers of courses or degree requirements on a case-by-case basis; altering length or times for exams, and/or allowing use of readers, scribes, etc.; and permitting the use of adaptive equipment or other technology to assist with test-taking and study skills.
