Welcome
The Accessibility Services Office welcomes you to Rollins College. The mission of Accessibility Services is to ensure that students with disabilities have equal access to participate in and benefit from all curricular and co-curricular opportunities at Rollins College. This is accomplished through collaboration with faculty and staff to remove barriers, creating accessible learning environments.
Students requesting reasonable accommodations will initially connect with the office, provide supporting documentation, meet with our Director or Assistant Director to discuss their needs, and develop accommodation plans to share with their faculty. All accommodations are assessed on an individual basis in an intentional and deliberative process, and accommodation needs may change depending on the design of each course. We emphasize the students’ responsibility in using accommodations in accordance with our procedures, which are designed to promote self-advocacy and independence. Our staff are available for assistance, consultation, and support whenever needed.
Rollins College is committed to providing equal access to all students.
To utilize accommodations, students must refer themselves to the Director of Accessibility Services and submit documentation to verify eligibility under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Protection under these civil rights statutes is determined on a case-by-case basis and is based upon documentation of a disability that currently substantially limits one or more major life activity, as defined under the ADA Amendments Act of 2008.
