Disability Accommodation Policy

The policy of Rochester College is to comply with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 in providing reasonable accommodations to qualified students with disabilities. A qualified student with a disability is one who meets the academic and nonacademic admission criteria essential to participate in the program in question and who, with reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of the program or course requirements.

The ACE Lab facilitates reasonable accommodations and support services for any qualified student with a properly documented disability. A disability is a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. Written documentation from an appropriate professional is required.
