Platt College recognizes and supports the standards set forth in Section 504 of the Rehabilitations Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which are designed to prevent discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities. In compliance with the American with Disabilities Act, students are encouraged to contact the designated Platt College ADA Coordinator located in the Student and Career Services Department at the beginning of their program for possible assistance with accommodations.

Individuals are responsible for voluntarily and confidentially disclosing a disability and providing appropriate documentation regarding the nature and extent of a disability and the individual’s functional limitations.

Documentation need only discuss a disability or limitation that pertains to the reasonable modification(s) being requested. Platt College cannot make reasonable modifications that are unduly burdensome or that fundamentally alter the nature of the College’s programs. Medical documentation of disabilities and requested reasonable modifications must be presented in writing according to Policy 03:05:00 ADA.

Platt College is committed to equal access and participation for all persons, including those with disabilities, in employment, academics and other programs sponsored by Platt College. The Student and Career Services Coordinator currently serves as the designated Platt College ADA Coordinator and assists the College community to create and maintain a welcoming, accessible environment for perspective students, students, and employees with disabilities.

*Accommodations that are deemed to be “unduly burdensome” are usually decided by policy, curriculum, or finances. However, Platt College will work towards reasonably accommodating everyone.
