ADA

Stanbridge University does not discriminate in admission or access to our program on the basis of age, race, color, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or national origin.  The university’s ADA Compliance Office is responsible for coordinating compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.  Applicants who are persons with disabilities, as defined in paragraph 104.3(j) of the regulation under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, may apply for admittance into the program.  You may request academic adjustments or auxiliary aids at any time by submitting a request through the online ADA Portal located on Student Central. The university will work with the applicant or student to determine whether reasonable accommodations can be effective and/or are available.

Any qualified individual with a disability requesting an accommodation or auxiliary aid or service should follow this procedure:

1. Go to the online ADA Portal at ada.stanbridge.edu, and
2. Submit a Request for Accommodation.

The request should be made at least four weeks in advance of the date needed. You may contact the university’s ADA Compliance Office via email at ada@stanbridge.edu.

1) The university’s ADA Compliance Office will respond within three business days of receiving the Request for Accommodation.

2) If you would like to request reconsideration of the decision regarding your request, please contact the university’s ADA Compliance Office within one week of the date of the Letter of Accommodation.  Please provide a statement of why and how you think the response should be modified.
