Allegheny recognizes that no two students are alike. Every candidate for admission exhibits different combinations of skills, abilities, experience, and potential. Students with learning, physical, or psychological disabilities may need services or accommodations to ensure equal access to Allegheny's educational programs. The Learning Commons provides a central resource for students who might need individual accommodations.
In order to receive the most appropriate assistance, students with disabilities who plan to attend Allegheny should provide the Learning Commons with current, specific information that establishes the presence of a disability. This information should be provided prior to the student's matriculation and must include:
Upon receipt of this information, the Associate Director can begin to determine appropriate assistance and accommodations. Examples of such assistance might include:
The Associate Director meets individually with students with disabilities after new student orientation and offers ongoing support throughout.
For more information about services for students with disabilities, contact John Mangine, Associate Director of the Learning Commons.

Please note that the presence of a physical or a learning disability is never a factor in the admissions decision. If prospective students have any questions or concerns about this issue, they should contact an Allegheny admissions counselor, who can provide answers, suggestions, and recommendations.
