LEGAL INFORMATION
Congress passed Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (PL93-112),
and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990. Both laws prohibit
discrimination of individuals with disabilities. While the laws are
designed to protect you from discrimination on the basis of your disability,
they do not give you special privileges. If you feel that you are
being discriminated against, due to your disability, you may contact
Dr. Joy Ruff, Director of Equal Opportunity Programs, at (305) 237-2090
on the Kendall Campus. State law SB726 allows certain students with
disabilities, to be waived from a sub-test of the College-level Academic
Skills Test (C.L.A.S.T.) State law HB10 enables certain eligible students
with disabilities to be considered for one of the following.
1. Reasonable substitution for any requirement for admission where
documentation is provided that the disabled person’s failure
to meet the admission requirement is related to the student’s
disability.
2. Reasonable substitution for any requirement for graduation or
for entry into upper division university where documentation can
be provided that the student’s failure to meet the require-
ment is related to the disability and where the failure to meet
the requirement or program admission requirement does not constitute
a fundamental alteration of the program.
