Penn State encourages academically qualified students with disabilities to participate in its educational programs. We are committed to equal opportunity in our admission policies and procedures and are dedicated to providing reasonable accommodations for qualified students.
Penn State Continuing Education students seeking special services or academic accommodations from the University must self-disclose their need for these services or accommodations by contacting Penn State's Office for Disability Services (ODS).
To be eligible for academic accommodations through ODS, students must have a documented disability as defined by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. Visit the ODS Web site to learn more about the eligibility requirements.
Penn State's guidelines for appropriate documentation--and the verification form necessary for each disability category--may be obtained from the section of the ODS Web site titled "Documentation Guidelines and General Information for Students with Specific Conditions."
For more information, contact us or ODS.
