ADA/ Modifications

Test anxiety has been determined by the courts to NOT be a disability under ADA unless it clearly can be shown to be associated with a mental “anxiety disorder.”

Non-specific diagnoses such as “individual learning styles, learning differences, academic problems, computer phobias, slow reading, and test difficulty or test anxiety” do not constitute a disability or impairment.

Students at Mount Aloysius College with documented disabilities can receive a variety of academic accommodations, which are determined on a case-by-case basis.  A common accommodation gives the student access to notes taken in class by a fellow student.

If you have a documented disability and need a note taker, please contact Accessibility Services.

In order to obtain a Pennsylvania Parking Placard for a documented disability, please print a copy of the Parking Placard Form from the PA DMV, submit it to your medical professional and mail it to the address stated on form.

Once you receive your parking placard in the mail, please provide Accessibility Services with a copy of your parking placard. Accessibility Services will then notify the Campus Safety Office of your placard.

You cannot park in handicap accessible spaces until a copy of your placard is on file and Campus Safety is notified. Otherwise, you may receive a parking violation.

Email the Accessibility Services office for a form that will need to be completed if you are applying for medical accommodations due to a documented medical condition.
