ADA Policy

In compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the American Disabilities Act of 1990, the College shall furnish appropriate auxiliary aids and services where necessary to afford an individual with a disability an equal opportunity to participate in and enjoy the benefits of the academic programs of the College.

The College shall take such steps as are necessary to ensure that no student with a disability is denied the benefits of, excluded from participation in, or otherwise subjected to discrimination under the education program or activity operated by the recipient because of the absence of educational auxiliary aids for students with impaired sensory, manual, or speaking skills.

Students should report a special need or disability during the Admissions process. After this disability is verified by an outside source, the student will be referred to the Office of Student Services at which time the following procedures will be implemented:

  • The office of Student Services will consult with the appropriate academic Dean to determine whether the College can provide the necessary accommodation.
  • If the student is otherwise qualified and is admitted and enrolled under normal admissions standards, the office of Student Services will send a written notification to the appropriate academic Dean and each of the student instructors. This notification identifies the student, his/her disability or special need and the accommodation(s) required. This accommodation is mandated.
