Accommodations
The Office for Access and Disability Services is committed to working with campus partners to seek 鈥渞easonable accommodations鈥� for students with disabilities. Our goal is to ensure that students with documented disabilities have an opportunity to grow independently to their full potential at 棉花糖直播.
ADS provides accommodations to students with physical disabilities, neurologically-based disorders that trigger a physical response, sensory disabilities, chronic health conditions that rise to a level of a disability, or a temporary injury that requires accommodations.
Students with disabilities may request support services in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Students must self-identify by providing notice of their disability and the required documentation to ADS.
Students with documented disabilities who need accommodations should register with ADS by completing the .
For students with learning disabilities, please connect with the Office of Learning Support Services (LSS). LSS is committed to providing 鈥渞easonable academic accommodations鈥� for students with learning disabilities, ADHD, autistic students, and students with mental health conditions that rise to the level of disability. The goal of LSS is to ensure that students with documented disabilities have an opportunity to grow independently to their full potential at 棉花糖直播. If you have questions, email learning.support.services@villanova.edu or call 610-519-5176.

Guidelines
棉花糖直播 students with disabilities are eligible for protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADA AA) of 2008 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended). The ADA Amendments Act 2008 retains the definition of a "disability" as physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a record of such an impairment, or being regarded as having such an impairment.
The diagnostician who evaluates the student must be a licensed or otherwise properly credentialed professional who:
- is qualified/ certified to evaluate and diagnose the disability,
- is familiar with the challenges and functional requirements of a college environment
- is an impartial evaluator or diagnostician who is not a family member nor in a dual relationship with the student.
The documentation submitted for the purpose of seeking a determination of disability at the post-secondary level must be detailed, comprehensive, and include the following components as appropriate to the area of disability being disclosed:
- 鈥孨arrative report format, on letterhead, signed by the evaluator(s) and includes title and credentials
- 鈥孍valuations/documentation must be current (generally between six months and three years of starting college)
- 鈥孋learly stated diagnosis (DSM V, as appropriate)identifying the condition
- 鈥孒istory of the disorder including the age of onset, past treatment(s)
- 鈥孉 statement of the current, significant impact of the disorder on a major life activity, and the professional鈥檚 assessment if the condition rises to the level of a disability
- 鈥孌escription of the level of severity, expected progression or stability of the condition (critical in the determination of chronic or progressive conditions)
- 鈥孌escription of current/ past accommodations, services and/or medications (if prescribed)
- 鈥孌iagnostician recommendations for reasonable accommodations, auxiliary aids, and services for the post-secondary experience must be clearly linked to the testing and evaluation data
- Each student鈥檚 request for a determination of disability and accommodations/services is evaluated and considered individually.
- It is the responsibility of the individual seeking a determination of disability, (and who will be requesting accommodations), to provide appropriate documentation before a determination of disability can be made and accommodations can be discussed and implemented.
- Prior use of accommodations and services is considered in the process of deliberating accommodations and services at the post-secondary level. It should be noted that some accommodations and services provided in high school may not be determined reasonable in the post-secondary environment.
Colleges and universities are required to provide students with appropriate academic accommodations, auxiliary aids, and services that are necessary to afford an individual with a disability equal access and opportunity to participate in the school's facilities, programs, and activities. At the postsecondary level, it is the student's responsibility to disclose his/her diagnosed condition, to request reasonable accommodations, and to follow established procedures for requesting those accommodations.
Students with diagnosed conditions that may rise to the level of a disability who will be requesting accommodations, auxiliary aids, and services are encouraged to identify these needs to the Office for Access and Disability Services, as soon as possible, after their application to the College has been accepted and their decision to attend has been confirmed. Submission of current, detailed documentation of the student鈥檚 diagnosed condition is required in order to initiate the disability determination process.
After an interview with the student, the Office for Access and Disability Services will review submitted documentation, including former medical and/or educational evaluations, IEPs, 鈥�504鈥� Plans, and any other supplemental materials submitted in support of the request.
The Office for Access and Disability Services reviews 棉花糖直播 University policies and practices regarding students with disabilities, as well as physical plant accessibility and operations, and offers recommendations for changes and modifications, as appropriate.
Our office collaborates with several offices including Residence Life, Public Safety, Dining Services, Facilities Management, and other key departments regarding collateral access issues for housing placement and general campus accessibility, such as:
- Campus visitation for students, family members, and guests
- Accessible housing facilities
- Accessible in classrooms and labs
- College-sponsored events and assignments at off-campus venues
- Modifications to existing facilities under revised DOJ Accessible Guidelines:
- Life /Sports building access (gym, pool, bathrooms)
- Residential services (specifically, first-year student dorms & other non-accessible dorms)
- Other academic and non-academic campus facilities
- Campus-wide available handicapped parking access
- Personal Care Attendant access
- Van/transportation access
- Graduation exercises 鈥� physical and the introduction of CART/captioned broadcast services
Students with disabilities requesting accommodations, auxiliary aids, and services at 棉花糖直播 University are encouraged to meet with ADS staff and help develop an individual plan of accommodation. Students with conditions that may rise to the level of a disability must provide appropriate, comprehensive, and current documentation that outlines the need for the specific college-level accommodations. Documentation must identify the diagnosed condition, present evidence of the condition鈥檚 impact on a major life activity, and provide a history of previously used accommodations and services.
All requests for accommodations are individually reviewed using a collaborative approach after the determination process is complete. Once accommodations are approved, faculty members are contacted about the request for accommodations. We encourage our students to set up a private meeting with each of their teachers to discuss their personal situation and to discuss the individual protocol for accommodations.

If a student pursues informal resolution, the student should discuss the problem with the Director of the Office for Access and Disability Services for matters involving physical disability accommodations, or the Director of Learning Support Services for matters involving learning disabilities or chronic illnesses that impact learning. ADS or LSS will seek to resolve the issue with the student and the appropriate University professionals.
Faculty and staff may seek to resolve the matter informally by meeting with Annette Lucidi, Human Resources Benefits Analyst, who handles workplace accommodations. The faculty or staff member should discuss the problem with the Human Resources Benefits Analyst. The Benefits Analyst will seek to resolve the issue with the faculty or staff member and the appropriate University professional. If the individual is dissatisfied with the informal resolution, she or he may file a Formal Grievance at any time.
Formal Grievance

- The Administrator, or their designee, shall issue a written decision in response to the request for reconsideration normally no later than fifteen (15) calendar days after its filing.
- The decision of the Administrator, or their designee, is final.
- The availability and use of this Grievance Procedure does not prevent a person from pursuing other remedies, such as filing a complaint of discrimination on the basis of disability with the U.S. Department of Education鈥檚 Office for Civil Rights.
Non-Retaliation
Retaliation in any form against an individual who exercises in good faith his or her right to file a grievance under this Policy or who cooperates in the investigation of any such complaint is strictly prohibited, and will itself be cause for appropriate disciplinary action.
棉花糖直播 University will make appropriate arrangements to ensure that persons with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodations, if needed, to participate in this Grievance Procedure. The Section 504 Coordinator (or designee) will be responsible for such arrangements.
Policies
The updated American with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility guidelines/standards for state and local governments as well post-secondary institutions (Title II) and businesses/ entities that are open to the public (Title III) should consider the impact of a new category鈥� 鈥渙ther power-driven mobility devices鈥�. There has been an increase in the number and types of mobility devices in use by individuals with physical disabilities and/or medical conditions that affect mobility.
Additionally, there has been an increase in the number of individuals who have temporary medical conditions that result in limited/compromised mobility who may implement the use of 鈥渙ther power-driven mobility devices鈥� for use in navigating the campus while temporarily impaired. It is prudent to consider key issues regarding general policies, appropriate use, storage, and responsibility for such devices.
棉花糖直播 University recognized that the use of personal mobility devices can play an important role in facilitating the independence of individuals with certain types of disabilities.
棉花糖直播 University is committed to ensuring that all qualified students with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodations, auxiliary aids, and services to ensure access and nondiscrimination to programs, services, and activities. 棉花糖直播 University makes every reasonable effort to accommodate individuals with disabilities as addressed by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA Amendments Act 2008) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
棉花糖直播 University does permit students with disabilities who have a documented need for assistance with activities of daily living and/or nursing care within a residential setting, to retain the services of a Personal Care Attendant (PCA). A Personal Care Attendant (PCA) is defined as a person who provides personal care/assistance (chronic or temporary) to a student with a disability or other health care needs with activities of daily living including nursing services not administered through the University Health Center or assistance with normal life functions. Personal Care Attendant (PCA) services may facilitate higher levels of independent access and participation in the College's programs, services, and activities. 棉花糖直播 University does not provide, assume coordination, or financial responsibilities for personal attendant services.
The services of a Personal Care Attendant (PCA) can have an important role in an individual鈥檚 quality of life. The well-thought selection of the right Agency/individual and ongoing effective communication with the PCA is critical for a successful experience. Students who require personal attendant services must make arrangements to provide for his/her own Personal Care Attendant and must follow the policies, procedures, and guidelines as determined by the Office of Disability Services.
University Division/Department: Office of Disability Services/Human Resources Department
EFFECTIVE DATE: June 29, 2018
I. PURPOSE
This policy governs the presence of Service Animals on 棉花糖直播 University鈥檚 campus and property.
II. SCOPE
This policy applies to all individuals utilizing the assistance of a Service Animal on 棉花糖直播 University鈥檚 campus and property, as well as others who may interact or come into contact with a Service Animal.
III. DEFINITIONS
Disability: A disability is a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a record of such an impairment, or being regarded as having such an impairment.
Service Animal: A Service Animal is a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. In certain circumstances, miniature horses may also qualify as Service Animals. Other animals, whether wild or domestic, do not qualify as Service Animals. Animals whose sole function is to provide emotional support, comfort, or companionship do not qualify as Service Animals.
Emotional Support Animal: An Emotional Support Animal (or 鈥淓SA鈥�) is not a pet. It is an animal that provides emotional support that alleviates one or more identified symptoms or effects of a person鈥檚 disability. There must be a disability-related need for the ESA. Unlike a Service Animal, an ESA may not accompany a person with a disability at all times and is typically only permitted in University housing (dwelling unit and common areas). For additional information, please consult the University鈥檚 Emotional Support Animal Policy.
Owner: An Owner is the individual utilizing the assistance of a Service Animal on 棉花糖直播 University鈥檚 campus.
IV. POLICY STATEMENT
棉花糖直播 University is committed to compliance with federal and state disability rights laws and recognizes the importance of Service Animals to some individuals with disabilities. This policy sets forth general guidelines applicable to the presence of Service Animals to ensure these rights are upheld without interruption of University functions.
V. PROCEDURE
When it is not readily apparent that the animal is a Service Animal, by law only two questions may be asked:
- Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
- What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?
For Owners who are also students, it is best practice to contact the Office for Access and Disability Services and/or Learning Support Services, as these offices may assist in contacting faculty and staff who should be made aware of the presence of the Service Animal, as necessary and appropriate.
If the Owner intends to reside in University housing with the Service Animal, the Owner should also contact the Office for Residence Life, which will also assist in this process. Notifying the Office for Residence Life will help to ensure that residential building staff are aware of the Service Animal鈥檚 presence in the event of an emergency or work needing to be done to the room. Early disclosure of the Service Animal by the Owner will allow the Office for Residence Life to address any issues in the event one or more roommates is unable to reside with the Service Animal. In any such case, either the Owner or roommate may be moved to a different location.
Conflicting Health Conditions:
Students with a medical condition(s) that are affected by animals (e.g., respiratory diseases, asthma, severe allergies) are asked to contact the Office of Disability Services if they have a health or safety-related concern about exposure to a Service Animal. Employees with a medical condition(s) that are affected by animals are asked to contact the Human Resources Department if they have a health or safety-related concern about exposure to a Service Animal. The University will provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities who will be impacted when in proximity to the Service Animal.
Owner鈥檚 Responsibilities:
- Care and supervision of the Service Animal are the responsibility of the Owner, who is required to maintain control of the Service Animal at all times.
- The Owner is responsible for ensuring the cleanup of the Service Animal鈥檚 waste and must toilet the Service Animal in outdoor areas designated by the University consistent with the reasonable capacity of the Owner. All animal waste must be placed in a sturdy plastic bag and securely tied up before being disposed of in the appropriately labeled outside containers. All bathing/washing care of Service Animals must take place off-campus. If the Owner is unable to ensure cleanup of the Service Animal, please contact the Office for Access and Disability Services and a plan will be established.
- The Owner must abide by current city, county, and state ordinances, laws, and/or regulations pertaining to licensing, vaccination, and other requirements for animals. It is the Owner鈥檚 responsibility to know and understand these ordinances, laws, and regulations.
- The Owner is responsible for ensuring that the Service Animal does not unduly interfere with the routine activities of the University or cause difficulties for students who reside in housing with the Service Animal.
- The Owner is financially responsible for the actions of the Service Animal including bodily injury or property damage (e.g., replacement of furniture, carpet, window and wall coverings etc.). The Owner will be required to reimburse the University for these costs, as well as any expenses incurred by the University for cleaning required as a result of the Service Animal. As applicable, the University may post these costs to the Owner鈥檚 student account.
- Service Animals may travel freely with their Owner throughout University Housing and most other areas of the University where the Owner would be permitted. However, the University may prohibit the presence of Service Animals in certain locations due to health and safety concerns.
- Service Animals may not be left overnight in University Housing to be cared for by another student. An Owner leaving campus for a prolonged period must remove the Service Animal from campus.
- The University is not responsible for a Service Animal during a fire alarm, fire drill or natural disaster.
- Owners must continue to abide by all other residential policies.
- Any violation of this policy may result in immediate removal of the Service Animal from the University.
- Should the Service Animal be removed from the University for any reason, the Owner is expected to fulfill the housing obligations for the remainder of the academic year.
Requirements for Faculty, Staff, Students and Other Members of the University Community
- They are not to inquire regarding the nature of the Owner鈥檚 disability, request documentation of the Service Animal, or require the Service Animal to demonstrate its task.
- They are to allow the Service Animal to accompany its Owner at all times and in all places on campus, except where specifically prohibited.
- They are not to touch or pet a Service Animal unless invited to do so.
- They are not to feed a Service Animal.
- They are not to deliberately startle or otherwise taunt a Service Animal.
- They are not to separate or attempt to separate an owner from his or her Service Animal.
Removal of the Service Animal
The University may exclude or remove the Service Animal if:
1) The animal poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others;
2) the animal鈥檚 presence results in a fundamental alteration of the University's programming;
3) the animal or its presence creates an unreasonable disturbance in or interference with the 棉花糖直播 community; or
4) the Owner does not comply with this policy.
