ADA Compliance and Reasonable Accommodation

×ÔοÊÓƵ-Gallup is committed to the recognition and the proactive pursuit of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). The University makes reasonable accommodation for religious observances, national origin practices of a student and to the known physical or mental limitations of a qualified student, unless such accommodations have the end result of fundamentally altering a program or service or placing an undue hardship on the operation of the University.

The Accessibility Resource Center (ARC) offers services to ×ÔοÊÓƵ self-identified students with disabilities. Students with documented disabling conditions that affect a major life activity are eligible for these services. This includes students with visual, hearing, learning, and mobility disabilities, as well as chronic conditions. The primary duty of the department is to help all qualified students with disabilities gain equal educational access and opportunities throughout the ×ÔοÊÓƵ community. Faculty and academic support staff may refer students when they have disclosed pertinent information regarding a specific disability.

According to the criteria stated in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, along with ×ÔοÊÓƵ Policy 2310, we require that students give proof of a disabling condition by providing professional evaluations. Students requesting services must provide documentation of the disabling condition prior to initiation of services.

Qualified students with disabilities should contact the Student Success ADA office in Gurley Hall room 1127 for information regarding accommodations in the academic and/or employment setting. If you have a special need and require an auxiliary aide and/ or service, please contact Student Success at (505) 863-7527, or 863-7757.
