Bryant University upholds the mandates of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008. Students with documented disabilities may request accommodations through the Office of Accessibility Services. The request process begins with the completion of an online intake form and personal intake meeting and includes a review of appropriate documentation. All requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis with a focus on how the student’s disability impacts daily living and learning activities.
The Office of Accessibility Services also manages the Academic Testing Center (ATC), a low-distraction testing space for Bryant students that is designed to maximize student performance and maintain test integrity. The ATC supports students who use approved testing accommodations or miss in-class exams due to illness or team travel.
