X NO THANKS
Northwestern College is committed to integrating students with disabilities as fully as possible into all aspects of college life. It is our goal to help ensure equal opportunity for self-identified students with documented disabilities. Each student is encouraged to act as his or her own advocate by taking responsibility for securing services and accommodations through the Office of Counseling and Disability Services (OCDS).
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 both prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities by mandating provision of reasonable accommodations to make programs and activities accessible to qualified individuals with disabilities.
Although the Office of Counseling and Disability Services is able to respond to most requests, there are natural and legal limitations to what services can be provided. It is the college's goal to assist students in developing their potential in light of what is feasible and reasonable under the law.
All or some of the following services may be available on an individual basis depending on the specific documented disability:
The documentation requested by and submitted to the OCDS will provide the basis for granting the appropriate services/accommodations. This office provides assistance and accommodations for students with documented special needs. These may include:
