Disability Awareness Committee (DAC)
Disability Services
Assumption College is committed to providing equal access to students with disabilities who are able to effectively function in a campus-based liberal arts environment.
Although the decision to self-identify and request accommodations is a matter of choice, our experience shows that students achieve higher levels of academic and personal success when they demonstrate initiative. The student's responsibility is to become informed about and to make use of the resources and services that are available.
The Director of Disability Services is available to answer questions regarding support services and accommodations for prospective students interested in learning more about the college, for newly enrolled students, and for returning students.
Individuals with disabilities a) have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity, b) have a record of such an impairments, or c) are regarded as having such impairment.
Examples of major life activities include but are not limited to: caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, working, lifting, thinking, concentrating and interacting with others.
Contact the Director of Disability Services, Sharon De Klerk, with any questions at 508-767-7500 or in the Academic Support Center (2nd floor of the Library).
