Equal Access for Students with Disabilities
Hood College actively supports the rights of students with disabilities to have equal access to education. In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Hood makes every reasonable effort to accommodate the needs of students with disabilities.
To receive appropriate advice and accommodations, students who have a disability must notify the Office of Accessibility Services located at the Josephine Steiner Student Success Center as soon as possible. Early notification prevents delay in the initiation of services and ensures the student full access to educational activities. The director of accessibility services, in consultation with the student, prepares a plan for services and forwards authorization for certain specialized services (such as interpreting or housing accommodations) to the appropriate offices on campus.
