Qualified Disabled Persons
Bethune-Cookman university provides equal opportunity to qualified disabled persons in accordance with the requirements of Americans with Disabilities Act.
ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 serve to ensure that individuals with current disabling conditions are provided reasonable accommodations to enable them to enjoy the programs, activities and services, and employment opportunities offered by colleges and universities.
As these laws only apply to individuals with known disabilities, it is required by Bethune-Cookman university that individuals provide recent documentation to establish their eligibility under these laws and to document their specific accommodation needs.
Individuals with a verifiable learning disability must submit documentation of a professional diagnostic evaluation (not older than three years) of their disability to room 1 of the faith hall building. All others with disabilities as defined by the ADA must also contact Student Affairs in the Student Center, 2nd Floor regarding living and dietary accommodations.
