Reid State complies with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 to offer reasonable accommodations for environmental and program accessibility. Reid State's Dean of Students serves as the ADA and Section 504 Coordinator and may designate another employee with Student Services to perform those duties, as needed.
Students with disabilities are encouraged to become actively involved with campus organizations. Accessible parking areas are available for students who are certified for disability parking. Reid State is also committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience and in compliance with Section 508 guidelines. If you have accessibility concerns or any issues viewing our content, please call 251-578-1313.
In addition to what Reid State offers students, the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services (ADRS) offers qualifying individuals a number of support services, tuition assistance in some instances. For more information, visit the following link: ADRS Vocational Rehabilitation Services
HOW TO RECEIVE ACCOMMODATIONS AT REID STATE
Students seeking accommodations must submit documentation from a qualified professional (such as a physician or psychologist) showing the diagnosis and recommended accommodations. The ADA Office will review the documentation and may request more information if needed.
Once approved, documentation remains valid as long as the student is continuously enrolled. If enrollment is interrupted, updated documentation may be required. All disability-related information is kept confidential and shared only when necessary.
Steps to Request Accommodations:
Meet with the ADA Director to discuss your needs.
Complete the ADA Release and Statement Form along with providing the corresponding ADA Accommodations form completed by your physician.
If reasonable accommodations are justified, the ADA Director will prepare accommodation letters for you to submit to your instructors.
You must give your letter to each instructor. Instructors are not required to provide accommodations until they receive this letter. Be sure to deliver it early in the semester and arrange details—especially for test accommodations—well in advance.
The ADA Coordinator is the central point of contact for both accommodations and complaints, and can be contacted by phone at (251) 578-1313 extension 231, by email at ebradley@rstc.edu or in writing to: ADA Coordinator, Reid State, P.O. Box 588, Evergreen, Alabama 36401.
