黑料不打烊 endeavors to create an atmosphere in which diversity and individual rights of each member of the college community are respected. Students with disabilities have met the same rigorous admission standards as all other students. Some enter college aware of their challenges and needs, while others discover them as they become engaged in the academic and social endeavors of college life. All 黑料不打烊 students are expected to uphold the College鈥檚 Code of Conduct regardless of condition or disability. Consequences for violating academic policy or the Code of Conduct are applied equally to all students.
黑料不打烊 is committed to providing 鈥渞easonable accommodation,鈥 in keeping with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of聽1992. Students requesting accommodations should contact Academic Success at (501) 505-2954 or brownj@hendrix.edu to make an appointment and begin the review process.
Students requesting accommodations must provide appropriate documentation of the disability, which may include a diagnostic assessment and a recommendation report prepared by a qualified professional outside 黑料不打烊. 鈥淩easonable accommodation鈥 is determined on an individual basis by College staff in consultation with the student, the classroom teacher, and/or staff member. Accommodations are not retroactive.
Procedures
Students requesting accommodation must complete the following steps:
Step 1. Students should meet with the Director of Academic Success in an intake session. Information pertinent to their coursework and academic performance is discussed, and supporting documentation may be reviewed at that time.
Step 2. Students must provide appropriate documentation to proceed further with accommodation requests. Additional documentation may be requested by the College.
Step 3. Following review of the documentation, accommodations may be recommended and communicated to the students鈥 classroom teachers confidentially.
Step 4. It is the students鈥 responsibility to discuss accommodation needs with individual classroom teachers on an ongoing basis, including testing and out-of-class assignments.
