In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Lynchburg College guarantees the rights of all students with documented disabilities equal access to an education, limited only by personal ability and not by the disability, and supports students in obtaining reasonable accommodations. Admission to Lynchburg College is determined by academic qualifications. Students with disabilities must meet the same entrance requirements as other applicants. Disclosure by the student and official documentation are required in order to determine eligibility for accommodations due to a disability.
Lynchburg College will provide reasonable accommodations for all eligible students with disabilities. Academic support services are available to the entire student population, although they may be especially important for students with physical impairments and/or different learning needs. A key to success at Lynchburg College is effective self-advocacy. Resources and assistance are available when students actively advocate for themselves. Furthermore, no student will be excluded from any course or curriculum of study on the basis of disability if the student can perform the essential functions of the course or curriculum with reasonable accommodations.
