Student Accessibility Services

学生不仅需要为大学生涯的成功做好准备,也需要为毕业后的社区和工作做好准备. Therefore, Mount Union致力于为学业合格的残疾学生或有独特挑战的学生提供平等的高等教育机会,这些学生在大学里表现出成功的潜力.

学生无障碍服务通过为合格的残疾人和独特的身体或学术挑战提供服务和住宿,支持Mount Union对多样性和学生成功的承诺. Student Accessibility Services ensures accessible programs, services and a campus environment in compliance with local, state, and federal disability rights legislation. Student Accessibility Services also serves as a resource to faculty, staff, 和大学社区,就有关合规问题提供咨询和宣传服务.

Students who wish to request accommodations in academics or housing must complete a request for accommodations and must provide supporting documentation of their unique needs. 住宿请求将根据请求的性质和及时性等因素确定, the specific needs of the student, administrative feasibility, and the reasonableness of the requested accommodation. Accommodations are approved on an academic-year basis and must be renewed each academic year.

咨询和住宿要求应尽早在学期内提出,以达到最好的结果:

  • For academic accommodations, 我们强烈鼓励学生尽可能在学期开始前提出申请.
  • For housing accommodations, 我们强烈鼓励新生在六月底(即将到来的秋季学期)提出申请,以便获得优先考虑. 返校学生应在2月(即将到来的秋季学期)提出住宿申请,然后进行住房抽签.

To request accommodations, or to address any related questions, please contact the Office of Student Accessibility Services at studentaccessibility@thejohnhopkinsfamilyreunion.net or by calling (330) 823-7372.
