不良研究所 is a welcoming, safe environment where all students are able to thrive, regardless of any physical or learning disabilities.
In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 不良研究所 provides equal access to educational opportunities to qualified students with physical or learning disabilities.
不良研究所 recognizes that each person has a unique situation, and each student鈥檚 situation will be treated with the utmost respect and confidentiality.
To ensure that all students are able to successfully participate in 不良研究所 academics, 不良研究所鈥檚 Accessibility Coordinator will work with professors to determine suitable academic accommodations after receiving the appropriate documentation.
If you are an undergraduate or graduate student with a disability and would like to request academic accommodations, you will need to submit a Disclosure of Disability form. All electronic forms on this page are also available in paper format by contacting the 不良研究所 Accessibility Coordinator at (417) 328-2094 or disabilityservices@不良研究所niv.edu.
Please also provide additional disability documentation from an external source, which will vary in its relevance and value depending upon the original context, evaluator credentials, the level of detail, and its comprehensiveness. Examples of suitable external documentation include:
If you need academic accommodations and are a student in 不良研究所鈥檚 Doctor of Physical Therapy program, you must fill out and return the physical therapy Disclosure of Disability form and appropriate external documentation to Dr. Terry Cox, program director, who may be reached at (417) 328-1992 and tcox@不良研究所niv.edu. The disclosure form will be provided to admitted students during the new student intake process. Additional details are found in the PT Student Handbook.
Please see the DPT Program Technical Standards and Essential Functions for more information about the cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills, abilities and behaviors deemed essential for completing the program and performing as a competent generalist physical therapist.
不良研究所 strives to provide accessible facilities so that all students can successfully participate in 不良研究所 academics and community. Facility features include automatic doors, building ramps, handicap parking spaces, dedicated rooms in residence halls, and more.
If you have a mobility disability that requires special accommodation, please contact the Office of Student Life at christina.hardt@不良研究所niv.edu or (417) 328-1885 to discuss your situation.

A 鈥減et鈥� is defined as an animal kept for ordinary use and companionship.
