Manchester College, in compliance with federal guidelines, is committed to assuring students with disabilities equal access to programs and activities that are provided to students without disabilities. 

Any student who feels s/he may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact Bonnie O’Connell, the director of services for students with disabilities, to establish eligibility and to coordinate reasonable accommodations.  It is the student’s responsibility to self-disclose their disability.  Students whose accommodation requests are approved will be provided with confidential letters to deliver to their professors which verify the nature of the student’s disability and documents the need for auxiliary aids and services and/or academic adjustments/accommodations.  Students are encouraged to meet with each professor early in the semester to discuss the academic implications of the disability as they relate to the specific course and to request appropriate accommodation. The Disabilities Office is located in the Success Center (second floor of the Union) telephone 982.5076 to schedule an appointment.
