SUNY Canton is committed to serving individuals with disabilities as defined by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504, Section 508, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act of 2008.

It is the College's policy to provide, on an individual basis, academic adjustments to its requirements for students who have disabilities that may affect their ability to fully participate in program or course activities or to meet course requirements as well as nonacademic program or activity requirements, including, but not limited to clubs, residence life and meal plans, and athletics. Modifications may include, but are not limited to: testing or classroom modifications, modifications to policies and practices in academic and student activities, and use of auxiliary aids or services. Student Accessibility Services staff members are available to work with students with physical, learning, psychological, medical, or other disabilities to help them better understand the nature of their disability, develop self-advocacy skills, and to determine appropriate access plans.
