Accommodations for Students with Disabilities

It is the policy of Gustavus Adolphus College to provide for the needs of enrolled students who have disabilities. In so doing, a number of individuals and departments cooperate to ensure equality of opportunity and maximal participation in the College's educational programs.

Assistant Dean of Students, Stephen Bennett , and Disability Services Coordinator, Laurie Bickett, provide consultations, referral, and direct assistance to students with disabilities. They also serve as personal contacts and advocates for students wishing to discuss policies and procedures or who may have problems or complaints. Students with disabilities are encouraged to schedule an appointment with the Assistant Dean or Ms. Bickett to identify individual needs within the campus environment and to discuss ways to meet those needs. The Assistant Dean is located in the Jackson Campus Center and can be reached by phone at 933-7526; Ms. Bickett's office is in 208 Johnson Student Union and can be reached at 933-7027.

Students requesting accommodations for their disability must have documentation of the disability on file in the Academic Advising Center. Appropriate accommodations are decided on an individual basis, and are based on a clear need for such accommodations.
