Students with Disabilities

Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and The Americans with Disabilities Amendment Act of 2008 (ADA) assure persons with disabilities equal opportunities for access in programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance. Piedmont College is committed to providing an accessible learning environment and willingly makes reasonable accommodation for individuals with documented disabilities.

Upon acceptance to Piedmont, students seeking accommodations are responsible for notifying the Disabilities Coordinator at 1-800-277-7020, ext. 1504 or by email at disabilityservices@piedmont.edu. Appropriate written documentation of disability is required and any accommodation provided is based upon individual need and existing academic requirements. All accommodation must be consistent with established academic requirements and standards of Piedmont College, and a student with accommodations continues to be responsible for his/her education and personal needs.

Piedmont College supports the efforts of each student to become a self-sufficient learner and encourages any student needing accommodations to seek support as early as possible. For further guidelines on accommodations, please contact the Disabilities Coordinator.
