The Disability Services Office at Rochester Institute of
Technology is committed to providing students and faculty/staff
with disabilities equal access to programs, services and physical
facilities at RIT. We strive to foster an environment where
students and faculty/staff with disabilities are welcomed,
valued and respected.
Assurance of equal access to educational opportunity rests
upon legal foundations established by federal law, specifically
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 including Section 504, and
the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
By federal law, a person with a disability is any person
who: 1. has a physical or mental impairment; 2. has a record
of such impairment; or 3. is regarded as having such an impairment
which substantially limits one or more major life activities
such as self-care, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing,
or learning.
For students attending RIT, the Disability Services Office
reviews requests for academic and residential accommodations
due to a disability and makes recommendations as appropriate.
The Academic Accommodations Office houses the test center.
Employees of RIT who would like to request work related accommodations
due to a disability should contact Barbara Ross in Human Resources
at 475-4315.
