University of New England

As part of it’s mission, the University of New England (UNE) seeks to promote respect for individual differences and to ensure that no person who meets the academic and technical standards requisite for admission to, and continued enrollment at, the University is denied benefits or subjected to discrimination at UNE solely by reason of his or her disability. Toward this end, and in conjunction with federal and state laws, the University both accepts and provides reasonable accommodations for qualified students.

The provision of adjustments/accommodations for students with disabilities is an on-going collaborative process involving continued communication, reassessment, and modification. A student with a disability can self-disclose his or her disability at the time of application to UNE or at any point while enrolled at the University. Self-disclosure of a disability is a precursor to receiving modifications, auxiliary aids or accommodations to the University’s programs or services. The student can choose to register with the Disability Services (DS) and will need to provide documentation, which supports the presence of a disability and the need for a modification, auxiliary aid or accommodation from a qualified professional.
