Academic Accommodations / Disability Support Services
In keeping with its earliest commitment to access to all qualified students, Knox College promotes the full inclusion of students with disabilities because that inclusion adds depth and value to the educational experience for all of its students. For students with documented disabilities, it is the goal of the College to provide an environment encouraging full participation in and equal access to its programs and services through the provision of reasonable accommodations. Reasonable accommodations are provided within the framework of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008.
Requests for Accommodations: Students requesting accommodations are directed to the Office of Disability Services, whose professional staff will document the nature of the disability, determine the ways in which it impedes access to the educational experience, and coordinate an appropriate modification or adjustment to ensure access. Anyone seeking additional information about disability support services at Knox College should contact Stephanie Grimes.
Health and Counseling Services
These services will be available on a limited basis.
Library
College library resources are available to all registered students. The library will post hours of operation during summer term. Due to anticipated construction projects in Seymour Library, it may be closed unexpectedly to all users for periods during the summer. Library services will be provided in alternative ways during such closures.
Network / Wireless Access
All enrolled students receive online course material access, library, and information resources, and access to the Knox wireless network.
Use of Athletic Facilities
Athletic and recreational facilities are available according to the regular summer schedule published by the Athletics Department.
