Wellesley College promotes inclusion of individuals with disabilities in all facets of the campus community.
This includes individuals with disabilities who are students, faculty, and/or staff of Wellesley College, and also those guests and alumnae who participate in numerous sponsored activities at Wellesley.
Wellesley is committed to providing equal workplace and educational opportunities for all its faculty, staff and students, including those with disabilities.
The College does not discriminate against individuals with disabilities in its admissions or educational programs, campus activities, or in its hiring and employment practices. As mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act and amendments ("ADA") and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and amendments ("Section 504"), and other related laws and regulations, the College does not discriminate against a qualified individual on the basis of disability in regard to the admission or participation in its educational programs and activities, its campus events, or hiring for employment or the terms, conditions, and privileges of employment. In addition, no qualified individuals with disabilities will be excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of, any educational program, campus event, workplace activity, or employment opportunity if the denial is based on the College's need to make reasonable accomodations for that individual's disability.
