Alabama State University is firmly committed to the principle of providing equal educational employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Our policies, programs and activities are designed to ensure that all facilities are made available to students and employees with disabilities in the most appropriate integrated setting. We are further committed to the identification and removal of any and all existing barriers that prevent disabled students and employees from enjoying any rights and privileges, advantages or opportunities enjoyed by others. Questions that may arise regarding University compliance and/or requests for reasonable accommodations should be directed to the Director of Disability Services, Alabama State University, P.O. Box 271, Montgomery, Alabama 36101-0271; (334) 229-5127/(334) 229-5134.

Special instructions are provided during the orientation period that takes place at the beginning of each semester. These instructions include an introduction to all of the facilities and services available to students with disabilities and the process that the student must follow to get keys to key-controlled elevators.

The program will provide reasonable accommodations for individuals qualifying under the Americans with Disabilities Act and other State and Federal laws and regulations. The service is dependent upon verifiable student documentation provided by a professional source. Examples of services provided or coordinated include note-takers, scribes, extended time, interpreter services and isolated testing.

In the event a student with a disability finds that an academic program is located in an inaccessible facility, he or she should report it to the office of Disability Services.
