Continuing Education Office Disability Statement

POLICY STATEMENT

Texas State University is committed to ensuring students who have a disability are afforded equal opportunities and equal access in compliance with federal and state laws.

SCOPE

This policy establishes procedures and defines responsibility for the administration of services available to students with disabilities through Disability Services (DS) at Texas State University and the provision of specific and reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities by Texas State faculty and staff.

Texas State will comply with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, as amended.

Students with disabilities should initiate requests for accommodations. However, the accountability and responsibility of providing students with disabilities equal access to the university is shared among students, faculty, administrators, and staff. Reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities are designed to provide equal access in a manner that does not compromise essential elements of a university program, activity, or service.
