Disabilities Access/Assistance Policies
Holy Cross College’s mission statement recognizes and values a diversity of backgrounds among its students. The goal “to actively promote diversity through willingness to accommodate the services of the College to the needs of mature students and the physically challenged” affirms that all students are valued members of the college community and that we strive to provide the same access to programs and activities to students with disabilities.
It is not always easy to understand students’ disabilities and/or to discern the appropriate accommodation. This Guidebook is an effort to remove any existing barriers, whether physical, programmatic, or attitudinal through the cooperation of all associated with Holy Cross College. This information also seeks to dispel any mystery that might exist around the services to be provided.
This Guidebook is a reference in that it delineates both students’ and instructors’ responsibilities. This resource book should foster better communication among students, faculty and staff, and facilitate the learning of those to whom accommodation is appropriate.
