Americans with Disabilities Act
The University is committed to complying with all federal and state laws addressing accessibility and accommodations for disabled individuals within an academic or workplace setting, including the Americans with Disabilities act of 1990 (ADA), as amended, Sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Nebraska Fair Employment Practice Act. In accordance with those laws, the University provides reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities so that they may have equal access to and equal opportunity to fully participate in the University's various services, programs, and activities. Accommodations are deemed reasonable only if they are not unduly burdensome or create an undue hardship for the University and do not fundamentally alter the nature of the underlying service, program, or activity.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and UNO's policy prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in employment and educational programs. University websites must be accessible so that students, prospective students, employees, guests, and visitors with disabilities have equitable access to the information and functionality provided to individuals with disabilities.
Additional information regarding ADA accommodations can be found on the University of Nebraska at Omaha Policy Page.
