ADA Notice

In accordance with the requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"), Georgia College & State University (GCSU) will not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of disability in its services, programs, or activities. If you need an accommodation to participate in a GCSU program, please call (478) 445-8634 or email facilityreservations@gcsu.edu.

Employment

GCSU does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its hiring or employment practices and complies with all regulations promulgated by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission under Title I of the ADA.

Effective Communication

GCSU will generally, upon request, provide appropriate aids and services leading to effective communication for qualified persons with disabilities so they can participate equally in GCSU’s programs, services, and activities, including qualified sign language interpreters, documents in Braille, and other ways of making information and communications accessible to people who have speech, hearing, or vision impairments.

Modifications to Policies and Procedures

GCSU will make all reasonable modifications to policies and programs to ensure that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to enjoy all its programs, services, and activities.

For example, individuals with service animals are welcomed in GCSU buildings, even where pets are generally prohibited. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity of GCSU, should call (478) 445-8634 or email facilityreservations@gcsu.edu as soon as possible but no later than 5 business days before the scheduled event. The ADA does not require GCSU to take any action that would fundamentally alter the nature of its programs or services, or impose an undue financial or administrative burden.

GCSU will not place a surcharge on a particular individual with a disability or any group of individuals with disabilities to cover the cost of providing auxiliary aids/services or reasonable modifications of policy, such as retrieving items from locations that are open to the public but are not accessible to persons who use wheelchairs.
