Disability Services
It is the policy of Kettering University to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and state
and local requirements regarding students, employees and applicants with disabilities. Under these laws, no qualified individual with a
disability shall be denied access to or participation in services, programs and activities at Kettering University. In carrying out Kettering's
policy regarding students, employees, and applicants with disabilities, we recognize that disabilities include mobility, sensory, medical,
psychological and learning disabilities, and we will make efforts to provide accommodations for these disabilities for all students who meet
requirements of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Any Kettering University student who has been diagnosed with a physical, medical, psychological or learning disability or suspects that he
or she may have one, should contact the Zelpha McKinnon Wellness Center, which will be responsible for gathering the appropriate
documentation to support the claim of disability, and for making an assessment of the student's needs on a case-by-case basis. The Wellness
Center will then make recommendations for the appropriate services and accommodations necessary to meet the legal requirements set forth
by the ADA. These recommendations will be provided to staff and faculty who may be responsible for providing the recommended services
and/or accommodations.
Students in the admission process should contact the Wellness Center to discuss the appropriate documentation needed to verify a disability
and the type of services, accommodations and/or adaptive equipment that may be needed.
