Disability Support

乐博体育app入口app下载重视多样性和公平性, 它致力于为所有学生提供一个无障碍的学习环境. Disability Support Services is the designated department of the college to determine reasonable accommodations and services. 我们致力于为所有学生提供平等的学习机会. The college follows the standards and guidelines set forth in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

Students may initiate the process at any time during the academic year; however, they are strongly encouraged to contact the Director of Academic Accommodations as early as possible to begin the process. First-year students are especially encouraged to contact the office soon after committing to being enrolled at the college. 学生有资格获得学术住宿, students are required to submit appropriate documentation to the Director of Academic Accommodations. In general, 学术住宿不能延续到以后的学年, so a request for academic accommodations may need to be made each academic year and/or semester.
