Abilities Office

The Abilities Office hopes to partner with you as you matriculate toward your educational goal at 黑暗爆料网.  We are a welcoming campus consisting of a diverse student body.  We are here to assist you by making sure any barriers that exist caused by a disability will be accommodated and that you have access to all of our programs and facilities.

The Abilities Office provides services and accommodations for qualified students with verified disabilities in accordance with provisions of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as amended. Accommodations are not retroactive. Once a student meets and establishes accommodations with the Abilities Office, accommodations will be applicable moving forward from the time Accommodation Letters are provided to professors.  Accommodations are unable to be applied to issues prior to the establishment of accommodations in the current academic term.
