2022-2023 Student Handbook 48 to reapply to the Seminary but will be required to re-sign the Statement of Faith. Students who have taken coursework at other institutions may be required to submit transcripts. Current Active-Duty Students Students who are taking courses while on active duty and experience military obligations (field assignment, etc.) that interfere with their ability to meet course requirements (attending class or taking an exam on a specific date) should discuss the matter with their professor and also notify the Registrar's Office. If special accommodations are requested or required, active-duty students will need to provide Denver Seminary with professional documentation from their commanding officer to verify the dates/times they were away. With such documentation, students will be allowed to make up class work, quizzes, or a test that was missed during the documented time period. Other assignments that have deadlines listed in the course syllabus, such as research papers, will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the professor to determine if additional time is warranted. Disability Services Overview of Section 504 at Denver Seminary Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act states that "no qualified handicapped person shall, on the basis of handicap, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity which receives Federal financial assistance" (34 C.F.R. Part 104.4). Denver Seminary strives to provide qualified students who have disabilities with opportunities to succeed in accordance with applicable law and the Seminary's resources, mission, and principles. Denver Seminary does not discriminate on the basis of handicap in violation of applicable portions of the Rehabilitation Act and its implementing regulations, including 34 C.F.R. Sec. 104.1 et seq. The Seminary has designated the Student Care Specialist, under the supervision of the Dean of Students, as the coordinator of its efforts under Section 504, and under its guidelines for addressing student requests for special arrangements. Because of its status as a religious institution, Denver Seminary is not subject to Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Rehabilitation Act may not apply to all of its decisions or activities. Nonetheless, the Seminary recognizes the gifts and calling to ministry of students with disabilities and strives to honor and address their needs and concerns through these guidelines. Persons having questions about these guidelines should contact the Student Care Specialist (303-357-5833). Please note: these guidelines are not intended to create contractual or other legally enforceable rights, or to waive Denver Seminary's rights or status under law. Student Requests for Reasonable Accommodations Students who have an ADA recognized disability and desire reasonable accommodations in order to participate in Seminary classes and programs, utilize Seminary equipment and learning resources, or have access to Seminary facilities, must contact the Student Care Specialist. Additional information can also be found on the Student Life Website. Students should be prepared to provide the following information in order for reasonable accommodations to be considered: • Medical diagnosis of disability and medical documentation from a qualified specialist that establishes the nature and extent of the disability, including the basis for the diagnosis along with dates of testing (when applicable).
