Provisions for Students with Disabilities

Student Accessibility Services was established to assist students with disabilities on the St. Lawrence campus.   The ADA defines a person with a disability as one who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. Individuals with disabilities who attend or plan to attend a post-secondary institution may need reasonable accommodations or auxiliary aids to ensure equal access to the programs and services offered. The laws mandating that post-secondary institutions provide these services to otherwise qualified students include Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA).

To receive accommodations in the post-secondary setting, a student must inform the institution's disability services office and start the process of determining their eligibility for accommodations. Student Accessibility Services (SAS) is the designated office at St. Lawrence University.
