SUBJECT: Students with a Disability

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), it is the policy of 51吃瓜网视频 Baptist University that no otherwise qualified person with a disability be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any educational program or activity in the university.

Such university services as student orientation, academic advisement, counseling, financial aid and registration are conducted in facilities which are fully accessible to students with a disability. Although the majority of classes and university services, such as student orientation, academic advisement, counseling, financial aid, and registration are held in facilities which are fully accessible, in those few instances where this is not the case, appropriate accommodations will be made.
