Physical Accessibility

Various academic accommodations are available to students with disabilities, including physical accommodations.

Academic Buildings

Students who require classes to be scheduled in accessible locations or have other special classroom needs should inform the Director of Student Disability Services as soon as possible (after preregistration for returning students, during the summer for entering students).  Indicating such requirements on the Needs Assessment Questionnaire, residential forms, and other relevant materials that are sent to all entering students before their first semester at the College will help alert staff of special requirements.
Should the need for a change in classroom location or other accommodation to ensure physical access arise during the school year, the student is responsible for informing the Director of Student Disability Services immediately.  A student who has not already registered with the Office of Student Disability Services must provide appropriate documentation of the disability at that time.  Class deans and relevant faculty members should be informed at the same time.  We will make every attempt to meet specific needs that arise after classrooms have been assigned, but we will need your cooperation to do so.

Housing

All students are individually assigned to residences on the basis of a housing form.  Students in need of specific housing services should indicate this on the housing form and notify the Director of Student Disability Services of needs well before the beginning of the semester.  Should a need for a housing change arise during the school year, students with disabilities are urged to inform both the Director of Residential Education and Living and the Director of Student Disability Services immediately so that every effort can be made to provide appropriate and reasonable accommodations.

Parking

Students with a disability who need to park in a space other than that assigned by Campus Safety must have special permission.  To obtain a special parking permit, a student must provide medical or other appropriate documentation to the Office of Student Disability Services as soon as becoming aware of the need.  All students are required to pay a parking fee, but there is not an additional fee for special parking permits.
