The College complies with the provision of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act. The ADA prohibits discrimination of qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of their disabilities. The ADA provides, in part, that qualified individuals with disabilities shall not be excluded from participating in or be denied the benefits of any program, service or activity offered by the College. The ADA requires that all programs services, and activities, when viewed in their entirety are readily accessible to use by qualified individuals with disabilities.
Interested persons, including individuals with disabilities or organizations representing individuals with disabilities, are invited to submit comments regarding the College’s current services, policies, and practices, and effects thereof which may discriminate against people with disabilities. Comments should be forwarded to Steve Zmyewski, Director of Learning Resources, at 800-372-8164.
A reasonable accommodation is any modification or adjustment to a program environment that makes it possible for a qualified individual with a disability to have an equal educational opportunity. Examples of accommodations may include, but are not limited to, acquiring or modifying equipment or devices; modifying examinations and training materials; making facilities readily accessible’ job restricting, modifying work schedules, providing qualified readers or interpreters; and alternate training material formats.
A student requiring accommodation is required to fill out the Student/Employee Request for Reasonable Accommodation form found in the Student Services Office. It is imperative that students requiring accommodations notify the Director of Learning Resources of such needs as soon as possible to assure the College can accommodate the need in a timely manner to ensure the student have an opportunity for a successful educational experience. The College asks for a three week notice for accommodation to allow time to secure any needed equipment, supply items, etc., to prepare the educational site for accommodation if granted.
In the event a student feels he/she has not been treated fairly in accordance with ADA services of the College, he/she can file a complaint. The forms and procedures can be found in the Student Services Office. In order for accommodations to be considered, appropriate professional documentation of the disability and the official ADA request form must be presented to the Director of Learning Resources.
