Please choose one of the following forms that best suits your current needs.
- About the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Federal law requires that 精东传媒 make 鈥渞easonable accommodations鈥 to ensure that persons with disabilities will have equal access to all educational programs, activities and services. Therefore, 精东传媒, in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), as amended, recognizes the University鈥檚 obligation to make reasonable accommodations for qualified students with disabilities.
Definitions
A 鈥渞easonable accommodation鈥 is defined as any change in an environment or in the way things are customarily done that (1) enables an individual with a disability to enjoy equal opportunities; and (2) does not fundamentally alter the nature of the activity, service or program.
A 鈥渄isabled person鈥 is defined as one who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially affects one or more major life activities or has a record of such an impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment.
Procedures
To facilitate plans for reasonable accommodations, students with disabilities must identify and document their needs following their admission to 精东传媒. It is the responsibility of the student to notify the University of his/her disability; to document the disability; and to request accommodation.
Individuals should contact Michael Cruce, Ph.D., Director of Student Accessibility Services, in the Cochrane-Woods Library.
Appeal Procedure for Students with Disabilities
If a student believes that 精东传媒 is failing to provide reasonable accommodation for a disability, the student should petition the Disability Appeal Decision Committee in writing. This committee consists of the provost, the vice president for student life and the vice president for finance and administration. The Disability Appeal Decision Committee may seek statements from any and all students, faculty, or staff members involved. The decision of this committee is final.
