The Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources is now Accessibility and Disability Resources.
The University of Lynchburg guarantees all students with documented disabilities equal access to an education limited only by personal ability and not by disability and supports students in obtaining reasonable accommodations.
This complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act of 2008, which prohibit discrimination based on disability and require equal opportunity to participate in University of Lynchburg programs.
Lynchburg does not offer programs or courses specifically designed for students with disabilities. However, in addition to reasonable accommodations approved on a case-by-case basis, the University offers all students a variety of support services such as tutoring, mentoring, advising, workshops, academic success courses, academic counseling, career services, and therapeutic counseling. These services, along with small classes and an intimate connection to faculty and staff, contribute to an exceptional experience for all students.
Accessibility and Disability Resources (ADR) works with enrolled students of the University of Lynchburg to consider and arrange for reasonable accommodations, services, training, consultation, and technical assistance based on disability. ADR supports the University to ensure that Lynchburg courses, programs, services, activities, and facilities are equally accessible to all students.
It also endeavors to assist students in becoming effective self-advocates and to facilitate an inclusive, supportive campus atmosphere that fosters respect and promotes independence.
