Services for Students with Disabilities

Reasonable accommodation for persons with known disabilities are made in accordance with section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. No person with a known disability are intentionally excluded from participation in, be denied the benefit of, or otherwise be subject to discrimination under any University policy, program, service, or in relation to employment because of a disability.

University programs and facilities are intended to be accessible to persons with disabilities.

Students must declare their disabilities and request related classroom accommodations by submitting a completed accommodations request form, as well as necessary documentation, to their campus disabilities services coordinator. The University requires reasonably recent documentation of a disability and reserves the right to request additional information and documentation if needed; confidential medical information remain confidential to the extent required and allowed by state and federal law. Requests for accommodation and documentation of a disability must be received for evaluation at least one to two weeks prior to implementation of accommodations. Additional time may be required for some accommodations requests. To assure timely provision of services, students should initiate their requests early. Information is available  through the local disabilities services coordinator at each campus.
