Three Rivers College provides reasonable accommodations to qualified students with a disability according to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Title II of the American with Disabilities Act to ensure that there will be no discrimination on the basis of a disability. Accommodations are adjustments made for students with disabilities to allow the same educational experiences as their peers. The purpose of an accommodation is to attempt to level the educational learning field for student with disabilities.
Pursuant to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and the Title II Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Three Rivers College will provide reasonable and individualized accommodations for requesting students who provide the required documentation outlining their disabilities. Because each student’s disability may differ in degree and impact, reasonable accommodations will be made on an individual basis.
Declaration of a student’s disability is voluntary. Documentation to support the disability must be provided to the college at the time of the request in order for a student to receive services. Information pertaining to a student’s disability is kept confidential. Information provided by a qualified professional will be used to assist with the determination and level of reasonable accommodations provided. It is the intent of the college to ensure equal opportunity while maintaining the integrity and quality of its programs. For more information contact the Office of Disability Services and reference college regulation: SR 2115 Disability Services for Students.

Three Rivers College is committed to supporting students serving in the military.

Exceptions to this policy are to be determined by the Chief Student Services Officer and the Chief Academic Officer.
Students called into service of the United States pursuant to 32 U.S.C. 502 (f)(1) or the authority of 10 U.S.C. 12301 (d) or 10 U.S. C. 12304 or any such call or order by the President of the United States or the Congress or the governor, to active service or training, prior to the completion of the semester or similar grading period, that student will be eligible for:
- A complete refund of all tuition and incidental fees for that semester, or
- With completion of 75% or more of the coursework, a grade will be issued based on the work completed, or you will be allowed to finish the coursework within a set period of time, or
- Under special circumstances, the issuance of a final grade based on current course work.
Students called to active duty should immediately present their orders to the Office of Student Services. Specific details and requirements are outlined in SR 2181 Military Duty.
