Northland Pioneer College is committed to ensure all of its students are provided equal access to a quality education that complies with all federal regulations with regard to nondiscrimination of persons with disabilities. Eligible students with properly documented disabilities will be provided reasonable and appropriate accommodations to instruction and services.
Students seeking accommodations are required to contact the Office of Accessibility and Inclusion as early in the registration process as possible. Failure to do so may result in a delay or limitation of services. All accommodations considered will be based upon the documentation provided to the Office of Accessibility and Inclusion by the student and will be implemented after consultation with the student on a case-bycase basis. In all cases, it remains the responsibility of the student to provide the Office of Accessibility and Inclusion with all necessary and required documentation.
Disclosure of Required Documentation
Students seeking accommodations must provide the Office of Accessibility and Inclusion with the following:
- Completed ADA Application which can be found online at www.npc.edu/oai.
- Proof of Disability
- Provide an evaluative report describing functional limitations or medical information certifying a qualifying disability.
- Include evidence that the evaluator has the professional credentials and/or specialized training, which qualifies him or her to offer a diagnostic determination.
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the accommodations made for the benefit of students with disabilities must, at all times, be reasonable. A “reasonable accommodation” is one which enables access to students with disabilities under the following circumstances:
- The accommodation will not fundamentally alter the program in terms of its educational standards and expectations; and,
- The accommodation will not result in undue instructional, financial or administrative burdens on other students or on the college as a whole.
