A. Students with learning disabilities and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD) are considered for admission to Moravian College on
the same basis as other applicants. Students may choose to disclose
a disability during the admission process and may not be rejected for
admission based on the presence of a learning disability; however, students
with disabilities must be otherwise qualified for admission.
They must meet the College’s standards for admission regardless
of the disability.
A. Moravian does not offer a separate academic program
for students with learning disabilities and ADHD. Classroom accommodations
are arranged for students who provide adequate and current documentation
of a disability, request accommodations, and follow all required procedures
outlined by the Office of Learning Services*.

A. Required documentation must be recent (within 3 years
of enrollment), must clearly diagnose a specific LD, ADHD, or neurological
impairment. It must include all test and subtest scores and demonstrate
a significant impairment. Although helpful as support materials, secondary
school IEPs are not sufficient for documentation of a disability and
granting of accommodations in college.
A. It is the responsibility of learning disabled students
to self-identify and request accommodations for each semester
in which accommodations are desired. The College is prohibited by law
to inquire about a student’s possible disability status.
A. Information about a student’s disability is confidential
and cannot be released without written permission from the student.
A. Accommodations are granted on an individual basis.
Individual support is available upon request to all students, regardless
of disability status, for help with time management, organization, test
preparation, and other study skills. Professors have mandatory weekly
office hours where students who need further assistance may reach them.
Peer tutoring is also available for most courses.
