Qualifications

All students, with or without reasonable accommodation, must carry out assignments. Qualified persons with disabilities, with or without reasonable accommodation, must be able to pass oral and written examinations.

It is in the best interests of both the student and the University to assess the degree of limitation caused by disability. However, the University will make the final determination of whether or not an individual meets all qualifications for study at the University.

The University accommodations process is found under “Student Life.” Additionally, questions regarding qualifications or accommodations should be directed to the Office of Student Affairs.
