Disability Services

Covenant College offers students with disabilities reasonable accommodations in accordance with the guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Sec. 504. The purpose of disability accommodations is to provide equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities to access, participate in, and succeed in their education by making necessary modifications to environments, policies, or tasks. These modifications help remove barriers to ensure fair access.

Meet With Us

We would love to meet with you and discuss any questions or concerns you may have. You can schedule a meeting through Google Meet or in-person.

Schedule a Meeting

A complaint of discrimination on the basis of disability should be filed in writing to the ADA Coordinator at disabilityservices@covenant.edu within 30 calendar days of the allegedly discriminatory act. You may include a clear description of the complaint: what happened, who was involved, when and where it happened.

Please see our full Non Discrimination Policy for more information.

A student who feels as though they have been denied a reasonable accommodation or is dissatisfied with the determination that they are not eligible as an Otherwise Qualified Individual may appeal in writing.

Appeals must be made in writing within five (5) days of notification of the denial to the Section 504 Appeals Coordinator, Rodney Miller (rodney.miller@covenant.edu). It would be helpful to include:

Date/time/location of occurrence
What approved accommodation you believe was not adequately provided
Any other relevant details or context
Desired next steps, if applicable

The Section 504 Appeals Coordinator will schedule meeting(s) with the various individuals involved in the process. The Section 504 Appeals Coordinator will render a decision in writing. The decision of the Section 504 Appeals Coordinator is final.

The availability and use of this Covenant College Appeal Process nor the Complaint Process does not prevent a student from filing a complaint of discrimination with external agencies such as the U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR). That office will determine whether a further investigation is warranted. You may find information on how to file a complaint with OCR here.
