Policy for Accommodations for Students with Disabilities<\/h2>\n

The University of La Verne is committed to full compliance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). As outlined in the 2010 University Strategic Plan, the Accessibility Services Department has adopted a policy that assures every student with a disability access to appropriate academic adjustments and auxiliary aids. This ensures full participation in the university\u2019s educational programs and student activities. All university faculty, administration, and staff are to be provided with current information on laws and policies which may affect their service or instruction to students with disabilities. With appropriate education, it will become the specific responsibility of all university employees to comply with this policy.<\/p>\n

The general definition of a student with a disability is any person who has a \u201cphysical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more of such person\u2019s major life activities,\u201d and any person who has \u201ca history of, or is regarded as having, such an impairment\u201d (Rehabilitation Act, Section 504). Accommodations which might be provided are: reasonable academic adjustments and physical accommodations; special testing procedures; advance notice regarding book lists for the visually impaired and some learning disabled students; use of academic aides in the classroom such as note takers, sign language interpreters, and recording devices; early advisement and assistance with registration; accessibility for students who use wheelchairs and those with mobility impairments; and special classroom furniture or special equipment in the classroom.<\/p>\n
