Special Services

Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to visit Roanoke College prior to their acceptance of admittance. A personal visit enables the student and college representatives to meet and determine how the college can best serve the student's particular physical and learning needs. Persons with disabilities which affect access to campus facilities should contact the Director of Campus Safety. The Director of Campus Safety serves as the Section 504 coordinator and is located in Bowman Hall.

Students with a diagnosed learning disability must send a copy of psycho-educational testing results to the Coordinator of Special Services. IEP or 504 plans will not be considered sufficient documentation unless accompanied by a current and complete evaluation. Evaluations will not be considered current unless completed within three years prior to submission to the college. While Roanoke College does not offer a special program for students with learning disabilities, certain accommodations may be permitted based on the specific disability and the recommendations of the consulting professional. Any special considerations or accommodations requested by the student will not be allowed until testing results have been received and reviewed by the coordinator. All requests are handled on a case-by-case basis. Students are encouraged to submit their documentation to the Office of Special Services shortly after being admitted to the college to ensure that their accommodations are in place prior to the beginning of their first term.
