ADA & Disability Services

Covenant College offers students reasonable accommodations for disabilities in accordance with the guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Students may provide one or more of the following to establish considerations for accommodations: psychological evaluation, a 504 or IEP plan utilized during highschool, and/or an official letter of diagnosis and recommendation for accommodation from the diagnosing or treating licensed provider. All documentation and questions should be directed to disabilityservices@covenant.edu.

Students who are receiving disability accommodations are encouraged to establish a relationship with the Director of Student Success to receive additional training and assistance in working with disabilities as a college student.

Academic Accommodations

Reasonable academic accommodations will be granted on a case-by-case basis at the recommendation of the Director of Student Success following receiving official documentation. The Director of Student Success can also make recommendations for additional accommodations on a case-by-case basis. Students who provide verification that their primary language is not English may also be granted extended time on assessments on a case-by-case basis. Any student who qualifies and may need academic accommodations should contact the Center for Student Success as early in the semester as possible.

For students to receive appropriate accommodations, the course instructor must receive official notification of eligibility from the Center for Student Success, and students must speak directly to their instructor concerning their specific accommodations BEFORE a due date for an assignment or BEFORE the day of an exam. If the professor cannot make arrangements to provide the additional proctoring, the Director of Student Success should be contacted for assistance.

Housing Accommodations

Any housing accommodation request must be made through the Associate Dean of Students for Residence Life. Requests for information regarding Emotional Support Animals should be directed to the Director of Student Success.
