    Section Four - Requesting Services

    The University of North Georgia complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which ensure that no student is denied benefits, excluded from participation, or otherwise subjected to discrimination because of a disability. Student Accessibility Services coordinates a variety of accommodations and services, which are determined on an individual basis, and must be supported by current documentation.

    To receive services, students must inform Student Accessibility Services that they have, or suspect they have, a disability. A student has the legal responsibility to request necessary accommodations in a timely manner and to provide the institution with appropriate, current documentation of the disabling condition. Sufficient advanced notice of a request for an accommodation is required in order to give Student Accessibility Services a reasonable period of time to evaluate the request and documentation. A student may submit a request and documentation any time during enrollment at University of North Georgia, but action based on the request and documentation is not retroactive.

    Accommodations are based on the current nature and impact of the student’s disability. To determine the most effective accommodations, psychological or medical evaluations, student input, and records of past accommodations and services are considered along with the specific requirements of the course, program, or activity.

    Students should contact Student Accessibility Services with any questions or concerns regarding accommodations, required documentation, and/or available resources and support.
