Benedictine University is dedicated to creating an accessible environment through reasonable and appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities. 

Students with a disability are encouraged to seek assistance with Jennifer Golminas, Coordinator of Special Services in the Student Success Center. Special accommodation services are available for students with disabilities on a case-by-case basis and provided that documentation from a properly licensed clinician supports the accommodation.  Students eligible under the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990) and/or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (1973) , whose disability interferes with a major life activity, are urged to self identify so that the process for receiving assistance can begin as soon as possible.

Commonly granted accommodations include the following:

• Extended time for testing in a quiet test environment
• Designated note taker in class
• Modified or enlarged classroom / reading materials
• Books in alternate formats
• Preferential classroom seating
  

Students with questions or in need of special academic or housing accommodations should stop by the Student Success Center  in Krasa (room 012) or call (630) 829-6512 to arrange proper documentation for equal access to educational and campus services.
