Success in life should not be restrained by individual limitations. Cabrini is firmly committed to offering support and appropriate accommodation to qualified students with disabilities.
A learning specialist is available to provide personal academic support. We will also make classroom accommodations, such as extended test-taking time and lecture recordings.
Disclosure of a disability is voluntary and treated with the utmost confidentiality.
Eligibility for support services requires a current, relevant, and full evaluation from a qualified professional.
A person with a disability is someone who has an impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities (e.g., walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, caring for oneself, working).
The College is not required to make modifications that it can demonstrate would substantially alter an essential element of the curriculum. Classroom and program accommodations may include the following:
- the use of a calculator when appropriate
- spell-checker, tape recorder, or note-taker
- alternative formats for print materials
- interpreters, adaptive equipment, or assistive technology
- substitution of specific required courses
Testing accommodations such as extended time, a distraction-reduced room, scribes, and readers are also available when appropriate.
