Disabled Students
Accommodations for Disabled Students
Humphreys University welcomes students with disabilities and encourages any student with special needs to discuss them with an admission counselor.
The University has the following available for disabled students:
- Academic and special needs counseling
- Reserved parking spaces
- Access ramps to campus buildings
- Restroom facilities
Humphreys University is fully committed to complying with the laws regarding equal opportunity for all qualified students with disabilities and promoting the full participation of all qualified students in all aspects of campus life. It is the University’s policy to provide reasonable accommodation to persons with disabilities unless such accommodation would impose an undue burden to the University or fundamental alteration to the program in question. The University reserves the right to not make accommodations or provide auxiliary services if it constitutes an undue burden or requires a fundamental alteration to the program in question.
All students are expected to meet the academic standards as developed by the faculty. It is only through a student’s voluntary disclosure of a documented disability or injury and a request for accommodation that Humphreys can support the student’s needs. A student who wishes to request accommodation or modification must do so by completing the Request for Accommodation Form.
The student’s dean will contact the student and request appropriate documentation, which will not be shared with others. The dean (or designee) will communicate with the student to convey which, if any, accommodations, or modifications would be most effective to help the student achieve academic success.
The Dean may request additional documentation if what is provided is incomplete or if there are questions or inconsistencies with the student’s current impairment status and requested accommodation. Appropriate medical documentation must include a written evaluation from a physician, psychologist, or other qualified specialist that establishes the nature and extent of the disability and includes the basis for the diagnosis and the dates of testing; establishes the current need for accommodation; clearly identifies the diagnosed disability or disabilities; describes the functional limitations resulting from the disability or disabilities; describes the specific accommodation requested; and is typed or printed on official letterhead and be signed by an evaluator qualified to make the diagnosis, including licensure or certification and area of specialization.
