AMERICANS WITH DISABILITY (ADA)

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), as amended, provides that no otherwise qualified person
shall be discriminated against in the provision of educational service or benefit on the basis of disability. It is the
policy of Enterprise State Community College to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified students with
disabilities.
What is a Disability?

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), a disability is defined as a “mental or physical
impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities.” Walking, eating, talking, breathing,
writing, listening, and learning are examples of major life activities. If you have a documented physical or
mental impairment, you may be entitled to certain accommodations and/or academic adjustments under the
ADA.
Requesting Accommodations

Students with permanent or temporary disabilities that affect their participation in the academic environment are
encouraged to request accommodations in a timely manner. Students needing disability services or information
should contact the appropriate Disability Support Services staff member as listed below.

Documentation of Disabilities

It is necessary to provide ESCC Disability Support Services with recent documentation of disabilities in order to
obtain appropriate classroom accommodations. Guidelines for the documentation of disabilities are available
with the ESCC Disability Support Services office.

After your completed documentation is received, you will meet individually with the ADA Officer to discuss your
accommodations. ADA services are not retroactive; therefore, students are advised to register with the ADA
Officer before they begin classes. To ensure that ADA services are continued, it is the student’s responsibility
to contact the ADA coordinator at the beginning of each semester. ADA does not provide financial aid, attendant
(personal) care, transportation services, or tutoring.
