The Office of Disability Services is responsible for providing students with disabilities equal access to their education. To receive academic adjustments under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), students at Houston Christian University must provide documentation demonstrating a disability as defined by federal legislation from an appropriately certified or licensed professional. Federal law requires that students’ requests for academic adjustments, auxiliary aids, and other accommodations be determined on a case-by-case basis. These accommodations include meal plan waivers, room assignments, and Service or Assistance/Emotional Support Animals. Students requiring accommodations for disabilities related to University Residence Life should follow the same procedures outlined on the Procedure page, however for Service or Assistance/Emotional Support Animals additional documentation is required. See below for further information concerning animals on campus.
