Our Commitment to Students with Disabilities
Monmouth College and Disability Services are committed to providing a supportive and challenging environment for all students with disabilities who attend the College. Additionally, the College and Disability Services will work to provide students with disabilities a learning and community environment that affords them full participation, equal access, and reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. The majority of accommodations and services for students with disabilities are coordinated by Disability Services. Housing accommodations are coordinated by the Department of Residence Life.
Monmouth College provides reasonable and appropriate accommodations for students with documented disabilities that substantially limit some major life activity.
Examples of common accommodations include classroom modifications, adaptive equipment, testing arrangements, and air conditioned rooms in the residence halls. Documentation of a student’s disability must be current and comprehensive, must include a specific diagnosis, and must be from a qualified professional.
Students seeking accommodations must register with Disability Services and attach the appropriate supporting documentation. Every effort will be made to expedite review, but students should note processing and final accommodation arrangements normally take three to six weeks.
All disability related information will be treated in a confidential manner.
