ACCOMMODATIONS POLICY FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

Catawba College is committed to offering equal access to people with disabilities. In compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 as amended 2008 (ADA), the College does not exclude otherwise qualified persons with disabilities solely by reason of the disability, from participating in College programs and activities; nor are persons with disabilities denied the benefits of these programs or subjected to discrimination.

It is the responsibility of students who wish to request services and/or accommodations to inform the College of the disability and provide appropriate documentation of the disability to the Office of Academic AccessAbility. The accommodation process is outlined in greater detail on the Academic AccessAbility webpage on the Catawba College website (catawba.edu/accessability/). The Academic AccessAbility Policies and Procedures for students may be found on the website along with any pertinent forms. This webpage also explains the appeal procedure for grievance resolution for student accommodations due to disability.
