AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA)

Academia Medical Institute complies with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 which prohibits discrimination based on an individual’s disability.
Academia Medical Institute’s facilities and programs have been designed to accommodate all our employees and students.

We do realize, however, that all needs may not be met for those who are disabled, including without limitation, those with intellectual disabilities. If we can remedy an unmet need, don't hesitate to get in touch with the Campus Executive Director at (614) 279-4900 during regular business hours to discuss measures to make our facilities and services more accessible for all people.
If a prospective or current student has a disability requiring an academic adjustment, he or she should notify the Campus Executive Director. Upon receiving a request for an academic adjustment, Academia Medical Institute will require the student to provide documentation prepared by an appropriate professional, such as a medical doctor, psychologist, or other qualified diagnostician, which should include the following:
● a diagnosis of the student’s current disability;
● supporting information, such as the date of diagnosis, how the diagnosis was reached, and the credentials of the diagnosing professional;
● information on how the student’s disability affects a major life activity;
● information on how the disability affects the student’s academic performance; and
● requested accommodation(s).

Academia Medical Institute may request additional information, if necessary.
While Academia Medical Institute will try its best to honor the requested accommodations, it may not always be possible. Therefore, students are expected to engage in an interactive process with Academia Medical Institute to help determine the most appropriate and effective accommodation(s), including without limitation, suitable auxiliary aids. Accommodations will be determined on a case-by- case basis, based on the documentation, the student’s history, and specific functional limitations. Applicants and students are asked to provide appropriate and verifiable documentation of disabilities for which accommodations are requested at least thirty days prior to the semester in which the accommodation is needed so there is adequate time to complete this process.

DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICY

Academia Medical Institute is a Drug-Free Environment and prohibits the possession, consumption, or distribution/sale of drugs or alcohol anywhere on school property. A student, faculty member, or staff member of Academia Medical Institute found to be in violation of this policy will be subject to both criminal prosecution and disciplinary action, up to termination from Academia Medical Institute.

Screening for alcohol and drug use is a requirement for admission to the PN program. Subsequent “for cause” screening(s) may be required for continued participation in the nursing program. Failure to comply with or pass required screening(s) may result in:

● Denial of admission for a prospective student or
● Dismissal from Medical Institute for an existing student
