Florida Gulf Coast University endeavors to comply with all aspects of the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) and the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended. This includes compliance in the provision of programs, services, and activities; in carrying out University policies, practices, and procedures; in the need for reasonable accommodations; the use of equally effective communications; the provision of transportation services; and accessibility of facilities and public accommodations at the central campus and external University sites.
The University assumes no responsibility for personal assistance necessary for independent living or for specialized medical care. As a result of limited health facilities and health care professionals on campus, students requiring personal health assistance should be prepared to bear the expense of this care through a general hospital or private physician/clinic of their choice.
Students should contact the Office of Adaptive Services and faculty, staff, vendors and visitors should contact the Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance for needed assistance and guidance or to report instances of perceived discrimination. Further, the cooperation and support of all faculty and staff members is necessary in order to implement and maintain the policy.
