Such documentation complete their tax returns. The students, in turn, benefit from special should include: IRS training and the opportunity for field experience. • A diagnostic statement identifying the disability;

www.rider.edu/catalogs | 2014-2015 Academic Catalog 7 • A description of the diagnostic criteria and/or diagnostic tests used;

• A description of the functional impact of the disability;

• Information regarding relevant treatments, medications, assistive devices and/or services currently prescribed;

• Recommendation for adjustments, adaptive devices, assistive devices, and support services;

• The credentials of the diagnosing professional.

(Students without documentation who suspect a disability should contact Services for Students with Disabilities.)

Only students with documented disabilities that interfere with their ability to meet the requirements of an academic course or program are entitled to reasonable accommodations, such as course adjustments and auxiliary aids. A reasonable accommodation is one that enables the disabled student to fulfill the essential requirements of the academic course or program; a reasonable accommodation does not waive or eliminate essential academic requirements.

Services for Students with Disabilities evaluate the disability documentation provided by the student, collect additional information from the student, and gather information from relevant educational support personnel, medical and psychological professionals, and other pertinent sources. When the student’s disability has been documented fully and potential reasonable accommodations have been identified, the student is encouraged to present the Notice of Academic Adjustments Form GENERAL INFORMATION to individual faculty and discuss the adjustments with each professor. Core Curriculum and Study Opportunities Faculty members may contact Services for Students with Disabilities at any time for clarification of the accommodation. A joint meeting of the appropriate university officials and the faculty member, and the student will be held to resolve questions concerning the reasonableness of the proposed accommodations. The student, likewise, is entitled to initiate this procedure.

In the event that such a meeting among the appropriate university official, the faculty member, and the student does not resolve any open issue(s), a qualified university official designated by the provost will meet with them and assist in resolving the open issue(s). Where a curricular modification is requested, that official normally will be the relevant dean, who will decide the reasonableness of the request in close consultation with the affected faculty member(s) and appropriate university official(s).

The policy is designed to ensure the University’s compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, and to enable every Rider student with a disability to enjoy an equal opportunity to achieve her/his full potential while attending this University. Because no policy can anticipate every possible student request, Rider reserves the right to vary this policy under appropriate circumstances on a case-by-case basis.

www.rider.edu/claes School of Liberal Arts and Sciences The School of Liberal Arts and Sciences (SLAS) is dedicated to educating the whole student for citizenship, life, and career success in a diverse and interdependent world.

The education we provide cultivates intellectual creativity, maturity, reflection, and autonomy. We promote both broad academic inquiry and specialized knowledge, while nurturing ethical and effective applications of communication and technological skills.

Our faculty, 99 percent of whom hold doctoral degrees, are key to the delivery of a comprehensive liberal arts education. They demonstrate an expert and practical dedication in and out of the classroom, encourag- ing the free exploration of ideas and examination of difficult problems within their fields.

In addition, SLAS offers what we call a “value added” education. We encourage students to spend time studying abroad, researching in collaboration with faculty and other students, interning at nationally renowned industrial and governmental agencies, and engaging in interdisciplinary programs of study. The impact of these activities will stay with students forever, significantly enhancing the value of their liberal arts experience.

We aim not only to provide students with expertise and experience in DEGREES their chosen fields, but also to guide their learning of life-long skills that cut across disciplines.
