We seek to foster the achievement of skills and knowledge which are central to an education in a residential liberal arts college. We try to be respectful of all dimensions of disability. As part of that process, we encourage the development of intellectual and personal growth which are critical to the successful passage into adulthood. Procedure It is the responsibility of the student to inform the College of a disability for which accommodation is required. He or she is expected to provide documentation of the nature and extent of the disability.
Some students come to college with a known disability.
For others it is only after they arrive that the question of a disability arises. Documentation of a disability requiring accommodations may be provided after a student has been admitted, after a student has matriculated, or at the time of admission, if an applicant requires accommodation to complete the admission process. Should acceptance and matriculation then follow, this information will be forwarded by the Admission Office to the Coordinator of Disabilities Services. After admission or matriculation, all documentation should be sent directly to the Coordinator. The Coordinator will review the findings and where necessary consult with the Director of Health Services , or with other specialists.
