Section Two - Rights and Responsibilities
The policies and procedures of the University of North Georgia are designed to insure full compliance with all pertinent federal and state legislation, specifically to include Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and all subsequent amendments. They are designed to assure full consideration of both the right of the individual with a disability to be free of discriminatory action, and the right of the university to set and to maintain standards. Additionally, they form a mechanism for dispute resolution for those instances in which the usual channels have not resulted in a decision that is acceptable to both the individual and the administration of the university.
