Belmont Technical College is committed to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act as well as the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and other laws protecting the rights of persons with disabilities. The College provides opportunities to qualified persons with disabilities in employment and in access to education, where this will not pose an undue burden or fundamentally alter the programs of the institution.

Compliance with the ADA is a high priority of the institution and appropriate changes will be made and accommodation provided to qualified individuals with disabilities, unless this poses an undue burden on the institution's resources or would fundamentally alter the nature of the programs.

Questions in regard to this law may be directed to the Director of Human Resources, who serves as the ADA Compliance Coordinator. Grievance procedures are outlined on page 130 of this catalog.

Belmont Technical College offers a number of services to those individuals requiring special assistance. Students with a known physical, mental, or learning disability who wish to request reasonable accommodation are to see the Access Advisor in the Student Services Department.

The College's Main Building complex is designed to accommodate the physically challenged. Special access parking areas are designated, and all internal facilities are designed for ease of access. Automatic doors are provided adjacent to the access parking area at the ATIC. The Science and Engineering Building is equipped with an elevator.
