DigiPen Institute of Technology strives to ensure that all students are provided with an equal opportunity to participate in the College’s programs, courses, and activities. Students requiring special assistance must self-identify to the Disability Support Service Coordinator and provide current documentation supporting their disability. Students must assist in identifying the proper accommodations and negotiate these accommodations at the beginning of each semester. As outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, DigiPen will provide reasonable accommodations and academic adjustments as long as provisions do not fundamentally alter the nature of the programs or the academic requirements that are considered essential to the program of study.
