Disabilities

Nova Southeastern University complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. No qualified individual with a disability shall be excluded form participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination in any activity, service, or program of the university solely by reason of his or her disability. Each qualified individual with a disability who meets the academic and technical standards (as stated in the NSU Student Handbook) required to enroll in and participate in Nova Southeastern University’s programs, shall be provided with equal access to educational programs in the most integrated setting appropriate to that person’s needs through reasonable accommodation.

At the postsecondary level, it is the student’s responsibility to initiate the process for disability services. The process for obtaining a reasonable accommodation is an interactive one that begins with the students’ disclosure for his/her disability and a request for a reasonable accommodation. The student has the responsibility to provide NSU with proper documentation of his/her disability form a qualified physician or clinician who diagnosis his/her disabilities and sets forth the recommended accommodations.

Student requests for accommodation will be considered on an individual basis. Each student with a disability should discuss his or her needs with the disability service representative in his or her academic center, college, or school before the commencement of classes. For information regarding consideration of accommodations, please contact Dr. Morton Morris at (954) 262-1746 or mmorris@nsu.nova.edu.
