Students with Special Needs Policy

The King’s is committed to meeting the special needs of individuals with disabilities. In compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), The King’s does not discriminate against students or employees with disabilities. The institution makes every effort (through the Dean of Students Office) to arrange services and accommodations to any student or employee who, through a recent (three years or less) assessment or diagnosis, can document the disability. The student or employee is responsible for all assessment costs.
Definition: According to ADA, a person with a disability is one who: (1) has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits a *major life activity, (2) has a record or history of such an impairment, or (3) is regarded as having such an impairment.
(*Major life activities include, but are not limited to walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, working, caring for oneself and performing manual tasks. These impairments may exist in those with chronic health impairments, learning disabilities, emotional disturbances, physical disabilities, etc.)
The King’s Tower has handicap accessible restrooms on the first floor. Elevators are available to all students.
