DigiPen Institute of Technology (“DigiPen”) is committed to providing equal access to all of its programs, courses, activities, events, and services. As required by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”) as amended and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-112) as amended (P.L. 93- 16), DigiPen will provide reasonable accommodations to qualified students with disabilities.
DigiPen’s Disability Support Services Office (“DSS Office”) and its staff are appointed by the President of DigiPen to practice the authority to review student documentation and determine the needs for any reasonable accommodations to be provided by DigiPen to ensure equal access. Wherever possible, reasonable accommodations will be offered provided they neither fundamentally alter the nature of the programs or the academic requirements that are considered essential to the program of study, nor create an undue hardship for DigiPen.
DSS Office staff will engage in a collaborative effort with students to assure equal access for students with disabilities. The DSS Office will also work with departments, faculty, and staff in the broader DigiPen community to prevent and eradicate discrimination on the basis of disability.
Current and prospective students who would like more information on DSS should contact the DSS Office at dss@digipen.edu.
