in compliance with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of
1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504). The purpose

altering essential elements of programs or courses. All requests for accommodations
are evaluated on an individual basis after review and evaluation of documentation.
It is the responsibility of students to request necessary accommodations and they
should do so as early as possible, as some accommodations may require time to implement.

appropriate documentation to Defiance College's Accessibility Services Coordinator,
Kris Knight, at 419-783-2445 or kknight@defiance.edu.
Please refer to the Undergraduate Catalog for Defiance College's Accommodations Policy
for Students with Disabilities which includes the documentation required for accommodations.
Reasonable Accommodations.
Accommodations are provided on an individual basis. Accommodations are provided to
support the educational development of students with disabilities. In addition to
the academic support services available to all Defiance College students, some examples
of reasonable accommodations include extended time for tests, administration of oral
tests, note-taking assistance, and use of assistive devices such as calculators or
computers.
