Disability Services

Mount Aloysius College makes every reasonable effort to provide qualified students with disabilities the opportunity to take full advantage of programs, practices, services and facilities. Students with disabilities who wish to request an accommodation are required to do so through the Vice President for Student Affairs Office, Cosgrave Center Room 106 or call (814) 886-6472.

At that time, students will be required to complete a formal request for accommodation and provide the necessary documentation. All requests should be submitted at least 30 days prior to an effective date of implementation. Upon receipt of the completed request form and documentation supporting the request, the Office of Student Affairs will forward these materials to the Director of Counseling and Disability Services.

The Director of Counseling and Disability Services will review the request, meet with the student, and determine what accommodations are warranted and will be approved. For any request for accommodations to be implemented, it must be formally approved.

The College’s policy complies with the requirements of  Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX and Section 504 of the Educational Amendments of 1972, and all other applicable Federal, State, and Local statutes, regulations, and guidelines.

Facilities

Designated handicapped accessible residence hall spaces are available for students with physical disabilities. The Administration Building, Pearce Hall, Academic Hall, Library and Cosgrave Center have elevators and a wheelchair accessible entrance. Students requiring alternative classroom seating may request such through the Counseling and Disability Services department.
