Villanova University is committed to providing "reasonable academic accommodations" to students who are diagnosed with disabilities and seek accommodations. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) defines a disability as "a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the persons major life activities".

The Office of Learning Support Services serves students with learning disabilities, other neurologically based disorders, and those disabled by chronic illnesses. All Villanova students with disabilities have met the same competitive requirements for admission as other Villanova students. Once admitted, students may request support services in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the ADA. It is the responsibility of students to identify themselves to the Director for Learning Support Services and submit for review current and complete documentation of their disability. Given the specific nature of the disability, "reasonable academic accommodations" will be determined on an individual basis.

Students with physical disabilities with questions or concerns about access and support services should contact Steve McWilliams, Office of Disability Services, 610.519.4095 or at stephen.mcwilliams@villanova.edu
