¼¯ÃÀÂ鶹

¼¯ÃÀÂ鶹 complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which ensure that reasonable accommodations are provided for students with documented disabilities. Based on documentation from a qualified practitioner, the College will determine on a case-by-case basis whether a need exists and, if so, what accommodations are appropriate and for how long.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 requires an institution of higher education to provide reasonable accommodations to a qualified individual with a documented disability, provided that this accommodation does not create an undue hardship on the institution. An undue hardship refers to any accommodation that would be unduly costly, expensive, substantially disruptive, or that would fundamentally alter the nature of the program.

A student who requests special accommodations due to a disability must contact the Office of Student Services (room 300) for a copy of the Disability Service Package that includes the Special Needs Self-Disclosure Form and the Documentation Guidelines.

All requests for accommodations must be submitted to the Office of Student Services at least thirty days before the beginning of the term for which accommodation is needed. The request along with documentation will be presented to the Accommodations Committee and the student will be notified in writing of the decision.

Please refer to Technical Standards for further information on requirements. Anyone who doesn’t meet these standards need to consider appropriate accommodations. Approved accommodations for on campus clinicals do not guarantee that said accommodations will be accepted by on site clinicals.
