Western University of Health Sciences (WesternU) is committed to providing equal educational opportunities for students with disabilities, who are otherwise qualified, in an academic environment free from harassment and discrimination. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), as amended, WesternU does not discriminate on the basis of disability in the administration of its education-related programs and activities. The grievance procedure set forth below is applicable to all students requesting or enrolled in services at the Harris Family Center for Disability and Health Policy (CDHP). It covers all complaints regarding contesting accommodations or access to programs or activities. All other allegations of disability discrimination covering all complaints alleged to have occurred in any College program or activity can be reported via the Title IX website.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

CDHP determines disability accommodations through an interactive process involving disability services professionals, appropriate members of the university community, and the student. We recognize that in any deliberative process that disagreements may occur because of misunderstandings, miscommunication, or lack of education around disability. In these instances, clarification, and effective communication can lead to a quick and effective resolution.<\/p>\n

Throughout any of these procedures, students can expect to be treated with respect, receive a timely response, not experience any form of retaliation, and have their concerns dealt with in a confidential manner to the greatest extent possible. The university encourages students to bring up any concerns early, give clear and detailed information, and alert the Associate Director of CDHP<\/a> in writing. Should your concern involve the Associate Director of CDHP, please contact the Director of CDHP<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
