Lincoln University is committed to non-discrimination of students with disabilities and therefore ensures that they have equal access to higher education, programs, activities, and services in order to achieve full participation and integration into the University. In keeping with the philosophies of the mission and vision of the University, the Accessibility Services Program, provides an array of support services and reasonable accommodations for students with special needs and/or disabilities as defined by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The Accessibility Services Program seeks to promote awareness and a campus environment in which accommodating students with special needs and/or disabilities is a natural extension of the University's goal.
The Accessibility Services Program provides assistance and support to students who have been diagnosed as having a permanent or temporary disability. Disabilities covered under the program include, but are not limited to, blind/low vision, hearing loss/impairments, physical disabilities, medical disabilities, psychological or mental disabilities, and learning disabilities. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act defines disability as any impairment which substantially limits a major life activity.
