Accommodations Policy

Under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) qualified students with disabilities are protected from discrimination and entitled to full participation in post-secondary education.  Students with disabilities have both rights and responsibilities under the law. AC professors must comply with the ADA. Students and faculty with questions or concerns regarding accommodations should contact Academic Services. 

Students with documented disabilities at Adrian College have the right to:

• full and equal participation in the services and activities of the College;

• reasonable support services;

• privacy and limited access regarding confidential information.

Students with disabilities at Adrian College have the responsibility to:

• provide appropriate documentation to verify disability;

• follow published procedures outlined in the accommodation letter for obtaining reasonable academic accommodations;

• meet qualifications and maintain essential standards for course and programs, services, jobs, and activities;

In consultation with Academic Services, Adrian College professors have the right to determine what is a reasonable accommodation for their specific course.
