STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
ECC welcomes students with disabilities and is committed to supporting them as they attend college. If a student has a disability (visual, aural, speech, emotional/psychiatric, orthopedic, health, or learning), s/he may be entitled to some accommodation, service, or support. While the College will not compromise or waive essential skill requirements in any course or degree, students with disabilities may be supported with accommodations to help meet these requirements. Accommodations must be reasonable and are specific to the disability and the course.
The laws in effect at college level are the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and state that a person does not have to reveal a disability, but if support is needed, documentation of the disability must be provided. If none is provided, the college does not have to make any exceptions to standard procedures.
All students are expected to comply with the Student Code of Conduct and all other college procedures as stated in the current College Catalog.
PROCEDURE FOR REQUESTING ACCOMMODATIONS:
- 1. Submit documentation of disability to ADA Coordinator.
- 2. Documentation will be reviewed and student will be contacted, either to provide additional information or to come in for accommodation letter(s) for faculty.
- 3. Call 847-214-7220 ( TTY - 847-214-7392) or e-mail ADA Coordinator at arhoades@elgin.edu .
