Special Student Populations Disabled Students   Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 states: "No otherwise qualified handicapped individual in the United States...shall solely by reason of his handicap, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) extends some of the provisions of Section 504.   A student with a documented disability of any kind (physical, emotional, learning, etc.) who will need accommodations in the classroom or with a course should contact Andrea C. Agnew, Director of Disabled Student Services, Student Center 270, (251) 460-7213, or the class instructors prior to the first day of class. Questions relating to accessibility should be directed to Mr. Tom Herbert, Maintenance Building 328, (251) 460-6121.   Federal regulations mandate "reasonable accommodation" for learning disabled students in the same way that they mandate curb cuts and ramped entrances to classroom buildings for physically disabled students. Examples of accommodations could include time extensions for exams or outside of classroom testing. Students are responsible for meeting with instructors to discuss the accommodations needed, but are not required to disclose the nature of the disability, as this information is considered confidential.
