Disability Statement

Students with disabilities have taken part in many Overseas &
Off-Campus programs at Lewis & Clark, and their success has
often been the result of careful planning. Students with disabilities
who anticipate needing any support or accommodation during
their Overseas or Off-Campus program are encouraged to discuss
their needs with the Overseas & Off-Campus program staff early
in the process of selecting a program. Students may also receive
consultation about their needs from staff in the Student Support
Services office. College staff will conduct an individualized
assessment of each student’s needs and discuss potential plans for
maximizing access to activities and programs. Potential participants
should be aware that many other countries do not
have accessibility standards that meet the Americans with
Disabilities Act requirements developed for the United States.
As a result, the College cannot ensure that all students with
disabilities can be accommodated on all of our overseas programs.
When a student’s needs cannot be accommodated in a particular activity
or program, staff will explore with the student whether potential alternative
educational experiences or programs are available.
