Accommodations

Mount Aloysius College makes every reasonable effort to provide qualified services to students with disabilities in order to create equal access for academic success. The Accessibility Services staff work in collaboration with members of the campus community to ensure that the student is integrated into the academic or environmental setting that will best help them reach their goals. Reasonable accommodations can be provided to students with a documented disability.

Students seeking accommodations from Accessibility Services on the basis of a disability are required to submit documentation to verify eligibility for services under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Protection under these civil rights is based upon documentation of a current disability that substantially limits a major life function.  Requests should be submitted at least 30 days prior to an effective date of implementation.

Upon receipt of the completed request form and documentation supporting the request, the request will be reviewed, and a meeting with the student will be held to determine what accommodations are warranted and will be approved. For any request for accommodation to be implemented, it must be formally approved.
