Announcing the Classroom Relocation Policy (5/1/2008)

The University of New Orleans announces the formulation of a new policy to assist in the relocation of classroom space in order to accommodate access by students with a documented disability. This policy as outlined on the accompanying links below specifies the process and procedures used to make such a move possible. Although the Office of Disability Services and the Registrar's Office will make every effort possible to accommodate individuals in the assigned classroom space, there may be situations where a relocation of the space is inevitable.

UNIVERSITY COMMITMENT

The University of New Orleans (UNO) is committed to providing for the needs of enrolled or admitted students who have disabilities under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA).

In general, University policy calls for reasonable accommodations to be made for students with documented disabilities on an individualized and flexible basis. It is the responsibility of students, however, to seek available assistance at the University and to make their needs known. 

For more information, please contact the Office of Disability Services.
