Disability Accommodations

Rochester College complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 in providing reasonable accommodations to qualified students with disabilities. The college also regards these accommodations to be an essential and logical consequence of its Christian orientation.

A qualified student with a disability is a person who meets the academic and nonacademic admission criteria essential to participate in the program in question and who, with reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of the program or course requirements.

The Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) facilitates reasonable accommodations and support services for any qualified student with a properly documented disability. A disability is a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. Written documentation from an appropriate professional is required. For a complete description of the policies and procedures associated with disability accommodations, please contact the director of the ACE, Caitlin Bechard at 248-218-2174 or cbechard@rc.edu.
