Question 2

Request Disability Assistance

Accepted Answer

If you have a disability that is covered (protected) under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and you are a qualified individual, you are entitled to Reasonable Accommodation should you need one. To make a request or discuss any specific concerns, please contact the ADA Coordinator as soon as possible but no later than 48 hours before the scheduled event. Please note that depending upon the nature and circumstances of the requested aid, service, or modification, additional advance notice may be required. If you require more information, please contact the ADA Coordinator.

Please note that the ADA does not require any action that would fundamentally alter the nature of programs or services, or impose an undue financial or administrative burden.

To request assistance, make a complaint or grievance that a program, service, or activity is not accessible to persons with disabilities, contact the ADA Coordinator.
