Northwest Missouri State University is committed to providing students with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in the University’s programs, courses and activities. Title IX and Equity provides learning and living accommodations at no cost to any student who has a documented disability as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
A disability is a condition that substantially limits "major life activity," such as walking, hearing, seeing, speaking, breathing, or learning. ADA laws protect:
To make a formal request for learning or living accommodation(s) to Title IX and Equity, Accessibility and Accommodations:
Students must complete and submit the fillable form below, or email the completed accommodations application to ada@nwmissouri.edu. Students must also attach in the application, or submit separately (ada@nwmissouri.edu), supporting documentation about your disability from your health or counseling professional. For more information please see the documentation guidelines in the section Disability Documentation and Requirements.
Students with an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) must complete an accommodations application, and provide documentation from a health or counseling professional prescribing the need for the ESA. If the request is approved, there are additional living requirements required from Residential Life.
