Bryant University supports students who self-identify with disabilities
and provide documentation of their disability from an appropriate source.
Bryant University professional staff members serve as advocates for students
with disabilities and assist them in achieving equal access to all University
programs and services. If students have disabilities that may require
accommodations, it is incumbent upon the student to contact the designated
office:
- For physical disabilities, contact Judy Farrell,
Advisor to Students with Disabilities in Health Services, at 401-232-6220;
TDD: 401-231-2860; e-mail: jfarrell@bryant.edu.
Individuals with permanent or temporary physical disabilities who wish
to obtain handicapped parking passes should contact the Department of
Public Safety 401-232-6001.
- For psychiatric or psychological disabilities, contact
William Phillips, Director of Counseling Services, at 401-232-6045.
- For learning disabilities, contact Sally Risconscente,
Assistant Director, Academic Center for Excellence (ACE), Learning Disability
Services, at 401-232-6746. Students with learning disabilities submit documentation
and request academic accommodations through (ACE). Comprehensive documentation,
completed within the past three years, must address the current impact
of disability on the student's academic performance. Bryant's Guidelines
for Documentation may be accessed at http://web.bryant.edu/~ace/ld_services.html.
It is the student's responsibility to schedule an appointment at ACE
at the start of each semester to discuss accommodation requests.
