Services for Students with Disabilities
Lincoln University is committed to providing equal opportunities to persons with disabilities in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. Students are hereby notified that this institution does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in admission or access to, or treatment, or employment in its programs and activities. Questions that may arise in regard to the University's compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act should be directed to the Coordinator of Disability Services, 304 Founders Hall, Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102-0029.
After being admitted to the University, students will receive information on how to access Disability Services. These services are coordinated through the Office of Career, Counseling & Disability Services. The type of service made available is dependent upon documented expressed needs. Examples of such services may include the following: the provision of text on audio tape for persons with visual impairments, learning disabilities or physical impairments; readers for visually impaired students; interpreters for the hearing impaired; note takers; access to chair-lifts and/or elevators; accessible parking; and coordination with agencies providing services for persons with disabilities.
Lincoln University will ensure effective communication is provided by making documents available upon request in Braille, large print, audio recording, and an accessible format. All videos and television programs will be provided by captioning. Please request auxiliary aides or services in a timely manner to ensure effective communication.
The University also provides on-campus-housing accommodations for students with disabilities.
If students find that an academic program is inaccessible, they should report this to the Coordinator of Disability Services or the academic dean of their college. Inaccessibility to extra-curricular programs or activities may also be reported to the Coordinator of Disability Services. Every effort will be made to make programs accessible.
Students should submit an Accommodation Request Form for disability related services as soon as possible after admittance to the University, in order that expressed needs can be met in a timely manner. Lincoln University reserves the right to require documentation of disabilities.
