ACCESSIBILITY SERVICES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

Accessibility Services is committed to collaborating with students, faculty and staff to support equal access and participation for students with disabilities in campus programing, activities and education. The office actively promotes the ongoing development of an accessible environment that embraces diversity through educational programming, services, resources, and facilities that are usable by all members of the campus community.

All students must meet the academic standards for admission into Hilbert College. Once admitted, a student with a disability is responsible for disclosing and providing documentation to Accessibility Services to be eligible for accommodations or services. Eligibility for accommodations is based on a case-by-case/ course-by-course basis each semester.

In order to receive services, students must:

  1. Self-identify to the Office of Accessibility Services

  2. Provide current documentation from a qualified professional with whom you have a history of treatment and who is skilled and knowledgeable in the diagnosis/treatment of your disability. This may include physician, licensed psychologist or other practitioner.

  3. Contact the Office of Accessibility Services to schedule a meeting to discuss reasonable services and/or accommodations.

Students must obtain a confidential notification form to be distributed to current faculty each semester. These notification forms contain only information regarding accommodations. Accommodations in college may include, but are not limited to, testing accommodations, classroom accommodations, housing accommodations, access to assistive technology, dietary accommodations, interpreting services.

Successful accommodation requires advance planning. Students should notify the Office of Accessibility Services in a timely manner.
