Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance Policy
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA),
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and subsequent regulations, Northcentral
University provides reasonable accommodation to a qualified individual
with an appropriately documented disability, provided that such
accommodation does not create an undue hardship. The University
determines accommodations on a case-by-case basis for students who are
unable to meet program requirements due to appropriately documented
disabilities.
Reasonable Accommodation Policy
Northcentral University is not campus-based. Accommodations are
individual in nature and are decided on a case-by-case basis. Requested
accommodations initiated by the Learner, must be reasonable, must not
create undue burden, must be supported by adequate documentation, and
must be requested within a reasonable time frame.
Determination of reasonable accommodations and compliance with the ADA
and the Rehabilitation Act for Learners are the responsibility of the
Disability Counselor(s). The Chief Academic Officer is the administrator
responsible.
Requesting Accommodation
Learners requesting accommodations under this policy must contact the
Disability Counselor to request services. The Learner must self-disclose
their disability and provide adequate documentation of their disability
(medical records, psychological testing, etc.) completed by a qualified
professional (physician, psychologist, psychiatrist, etc.). Learners who
wish to request accommodations must be accepted for admission to
Northcentral University before registering with the Disability
Counselor. In accordance with data privacy laws, Northcentral University
will handle all documentation on Learners with disabilities
confidentially.
