Student Disability Services
Cottey College is committed to ensuring that all qualified individuals with disabilities have the opportunity to take part in educational programs and services on an equal basis. The aim is to provide this opportunity in an integrated setting that fosters independence and meets the guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
Reasonable accommodations are made on an individual and flexible basis. It is the responsibility of individuals with disabilities to make their needs known and to provide proper documentation of a disability. Students seeking physical or academic accommodations for a disability should contact the coordinator for student disability services. Students will meet personally with the coordinator to arrange accommodations. Contact with the coordinator should be initiated prior to the student’s first semester at the College to ensure as timely accommodations as possible.
