Disability Policy for Students
Carroll University is committed to making otherwise qualified students with disabilities full participants in its programs, courses, services and activities. We are guided by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008. Individuals will receive reasonable accommodations according to their needs and the documentation of their disability.
Accommodation Request Process
Accommodation requests should be made through the Walter Young Center. In order to be eligible for reasonable accommodation(s) from the University, the student must provide recent, relevant and comprehensive documentation of the disability, and the disability’s impact on the student’s participation in a course, program or activity. Should documentation from the student be inadequate or incomplete, the University reserves the right to require additional documentation. The cost of providing additional documentation will be borne by the student. However, if documentation is complete, but the University seeks a second professional opinion, the University will pay for the cost of that second opinion. The University also reserves the right to deny accommodation until necessary documentation is received. Accommodation requests will be approved or disapproved by the Disabilities Services Office at the Walter Young Center following a Reasonable Accommodation Conference. Any accommodation decision may be appealed in writing to the Vice President of Student Affairs within five (5) days of the decision. Any request for additional or modified accommodations must be made in writing to the Disabilities Services Office.
Diversity
At Carroll University, diversity is a critical part of the campus culture. International and multicultural students, faculty, and staff are a vital component of the campus’ richness. The university’s goal is to create an environment that is open and welcoming for all people.
Carroll University is committed to supporting a diverse student body by providing comprehensive student support services and programs that allow students to explore diversity on campus, in the surrounding communities, and across the globe.
The Office of Cultural Diversity offers services and programs that support diversity such as cultural programming and activities, ally and mentor programs, diversity training, classroom presentations and more. These programs and services directly benefit the Carroll student body, faculty, and staff, as well as the Waukesha community. In turn, they provide the whole community with opportunities to gain a greater appreciation for the diversity represented on and off campus.
Student Health Center
The Carroll University Student Health Center is staffed by board certified nurse practitioners who treat students for a variety of minor illnesses and injuries. The nurse practitioners can prescribe medications if needed, and stock some medications in the Student Health Center. The nurse practitioners can also perform well physicals, pap smears, tuberculosis (TB) and skin tests, administer vaccines, perform drug screens, order blood tests and complete travel forms. There are charges to see the nurse practitioners, receive medications, have lab tests, vaccines, etc. All charges are billed to the student account or can be paid using Carroll Cash, unless the student has enrolled in the student insurance plan offered through the University. Students enrolled under a parent’s insurance plan can request a receipt that can be submitted to their insurance to request reimbursement. Students needing further treatment are referred to local clinics, Waukesha Memorial Hospital, or their primary M.D. and are responsible for any associated costs.
