Student Success

In order to receive accommodations, a student must self disclose their disability to the Office of Accessibility and Accommodations. A student must be determined to be a qualified person with a disability as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The Coordinator for Accessibility will work with the student in order to determine eligibility.

According to the ADA and Section 504, a person has a disability if they have:

• A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of their major life activities (such as walking, standing, seeing, speaking, hearing, sitting, breathing, reading, learning, thinking, performing manual tasks, taking care of oneself, etc.)
• Has a record of such an impairment
• Is regarded as having such an impairment.

To receive academic accommodations, a student with a disability affecting their academic performance must self disclose their disability to the Office of Accessibility and Accommodations. Students will then be asked to provide documentation supporting their request for accommodations.

Culver-Stockton College provides reasonable accommodations for qualified students with disabilities to provide them equal access in obtaining an education. Accordingly, instructors will work with the student in accordance with their documented letter of accommodations.

Please note, instructors will not make such accommodations without obtaining a letter of accommodations from the Office of Accessibility and Accommodations.

Culver-Stockton College provides reasonable accommodations to students with documented disabilities in accordance with The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Requests for accommodations, such as single rooms, emotional support animals, etc., must be made with the Office of Accessibility and Accommodations. The Office of Residential Life cannot make any accommodations until approval is received. Please note that approval does not guarantee space will be available.

Accommodations are evaluated on a case by case basis. Please be advised that requests for particular housing assignments and/or living environments based on a student’s preference, rather than a need for access, will not be honored. For example, a student with anxiety or ADHD requesting a single room to serve as a quiet place to study represents a preference, but not a necessity for accessibility. Additionally, single room accommodations are reserved for students with documented needs, for whom a standard housing assignment with a roommate is not accessible due to their disability. Single rooms will not be granted in suite style living.

Housing accommodations are valid for one academic year. Students must apply each year in order to be considered for accessible housing. New and previously approved students will need to submit up to date documentation with their request that reflects current functionality and access concerns.

Access to Facilities by Physically Disabled Persons


Culver-Stockton College will take necessary steps to ensure that a person with a disability is provided access to any program or activity provided by the College. As the scheduling of classes and arrangement of housing may require advanced planning, any student seeking accommodations due to their disability should contact the Office of Accessibility and Accommodations at least two months prior to the beginning of the semester in which they are requesting services.
