Students must voluntarily disclose their disability and provide documentation signed by an appropriate professional to qualify services. Tusculum University makes available to qualified students with disabilities those reasonable accommodations or services as are necessary to provide such students with unrestricted access to the learning environment and the opportunity to demonstrate academic achievement. Reasonable accommodations are offered at no cost to the student and are approved on a case-by-case basis. Examples of possible accommodations include:
Tusculum University recognizes that individuals with temporary impairments due to injuries, surgery or short-term medical conditions (i.e. broken limbs, hand injuries, mobility limitations during recovery from surgery) may benefit from campus assistance, support services, and resources. Examples include:
Temporary accommodations will set to expire based on the expected duration of the limitation documented by the qualified medical professional. ADA Services may request additional documentation to verify the need for continued services after the estimated duration of the condition has expired.
Tusculum University does not discriminate on the basis of disability in employment or admissions.
