Accessibility Services
Gwynedd Mercy University intends for all students accepted into an academic program to have equal access and opportunity to effectively reach their academic and personal goals . Within the bounds of its resources , Gwynedd Mercy University will provide reasonable accommodations to meet the challenges and needs of students with a qualified disability . The Office of Accessibility Services works to coordinate with faculty , staff and administration to meet the needs of students that have a qualified disability . In addition , Gwynedd Mercy University regularly convenes a University wide Accessibility Awareness Committee dedicated to identifying barriers of accessibility that prohibit persons with disabilities from experiencing equal access to educational opportunities at Gwynedd Mercy University .
At the time of a student ’ s acceptance to Gwynedd Mercy University , or anytime thereafter , a request can be made for accommodations pertaining to learning , psychological , and / or physical disabilities . This request must be made by the student directly to the Director of Accessibility Services . Requests must be made by the student to the Director in person , by email , or by receipt of the GMercyU Accommodation Application . Other forms of contact such as phone calls or disclosure to other University staff or faculty are not recognized as requests for accommodations . A student who self- identifies as having a disability and requests accommodations is responsible for submitting appropriate documentation and following the procedures as listed on the Accessibility Support web page
here . No accommodation can be made by Gwynedd Mercy University without completing this process .
All information provided to the Director of Accessibility Services is , in accordance with FERPA , confidential . It is important to allow sufficient time for administrative processing of the application . In addition , accommodation requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis and the accommodations are based on each student ' s individual and unique needs .
