Disabilities Support

Piedmont College supports the efforts of every student to become a self-sufficient learner and encourages any student needing accommodations to seek support as early as possible. Piedmont College is committed to providing an accessible learning environment and willingly makes reasonable accommodation for individuals with documented disabilities. Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and The Americans with Disabilities Amendment Act of 2008 (ADA) assure persons with disabilities equal opportunities for access in programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance.


Upon acceptance to Piedmont, students seeking accommodations should meet with the Director of Disabilities Support to discuss individual circumstances. Students should also speak with their professors and advisors. Appropriate written documentation of disability is required and any accommodation provided is based upon individual need and existing academic requirements. All accommodations must be consistent with established academic requirements and standards of Piedmont College, and a student with accommodations continues to be responsible for his/her education and personal needs.

Each semester accommodations will be reviewed and revised as necessary.
