Disability Services
BHCLR recognizes and complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 which prohibits discrimination against individuals
with disabilities. For the purposes of BHCLR compliance, a “qualified individual with a
disability” is one who, with or without reasonable accommodations or modifications, meets the
essential eligibility requirements for participation in the program. It is the responsibility of the
applicant or student to provide the necessary official records and documentation to the BHCLR
Academic and Spiritual Counselor three (3) weeks prior to the semester in which they are to be
enrolled.

Essential function standards are published in the school specific sections of the BHCLR Catalog,
and in the respective school specific sections of the Student Handbook. The Catalog and
handbooks are available at www.bhclr.edu.

Online students should follow their supervising lab’s ADA policy.

Reasonable accommodations for applicants and students with documented disabilities are made,
pursuant to federal and state laws. Any applicant or student with a disability who needs
accommodations must provide the necessary documentation and request the accommodations
three weeks prior to the beginning of the semester, term, or course. The appropriate school
official shall make the determination regarding reasonable accommodations.

BHCLR personnel are available to advise and counsel applicants and students who qualify under
the ADA. To request accommodations, students should provide current documentation that
includes:

• A clear and current diagnostic statement identifying the disability, date of the current
diagnostic evaluation, and the date of the original diagnosis;
