Riverland Community College will provide equal access to qualified students with disabilities in all programs, services and activities. Access means that a qualified individual with a disability will not be excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of services, programs or activities, nor will the student be subject to discrimination. With advanced notice all reasonable and appropriate accommodations will be provided for students who have a qualified disability based on a psychological or medical evaluation. In addition, voter registration forms are available with staff providing services to disabled students in the Student Success Centers.

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, accommodation will not be provided (1) for personal devices or services, even though the individual may be a qualified individual with a disability, or (2) that would result in fundamentally altering the nature of a program, or when the academic requirements are essential to a program of study or to meet licensing prerequisites, or (3) may cause undue financial or administrative burdens.

Interested persons, including individuals with disabilities or organizations representing individuals with disabilities, are invited to submit comments or request additional information regarding Riverland Community College?s current services, policies and practices. Title II states, in part, that no otherwise qualified disabled person shall, solely by reason of such disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination in programs or activities sponsored by a campus.
