EC-Council University seeks to create an accessible university community where students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to participate fully in all aspects of the educational experience. We recognize our obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and are committed to prohibiting discrimination based on disability.
Students with disabilities are not required to self-disclose or register with the University Accommodations Coordinator, although the University encourages them to do so.
The University follows the definition of disability as outlined in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Amendments Act (ADAAA), which states that a disabled person is anyone who:
Has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities
Is regarded as having such impairment
Has a record of such impairment
Students at private post-secondary institutions are protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act as Amended (ADAAA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. When serving students with disabilities, institutions must comply with these laws, which stipulate that they:
Cannot discriminate in college recruitment, admission, or after admission based solely on a student’s disability.
Make individual, reasonable accommodations at no cost to students with documented disabilities (please note that accommodations that would cause an undue hardship on the University may not be required).
Provide equal access and participation to students who qualify for an educational program.
Make modifications “as necessary” to ensure that academic requirements are not discriminatory.
Inform students of available services, academic adjustments, and the name of the coordinator of support services (this is the University Accommodations Coordinator or UAC at EC-Council University)
Provide written information on how to access services or request accommodations.
Accommodations are services, teaching approaches, compensatory strategies, changes, or modifications to the learning environment that enable students with documented disabilities to demonstrate their ability to perform the essential skills and functions required in a program or course.
Accommodations are intended to ensure equal access to learning opportunities and to allow equal program participation. For example, an interpreter provides access to lectures and discussions for a student who has a disability in the Deaf/Hard of Hearing category. The knowledge that is to be learned by the student remains the same as
for all students.
Hone your ability to analyze, troubleshoot, and deploy cyber security solutions.
Identify cyber vulnerabilities and detect security risks preemptively.
Understand the best practices for research, technical writing, and business communications.

Post-secondary institutions may provide academic adjustments if they do not change course outcomes or program requirements or place an undue burden on the institution. For example, reducing the acceptable level of skill required to pass an exam may result in a student not mastering a task that is required for safe and competent performance in the student’s chosen field. Modifications such as this are not appropriate in preparing students for successful futures. Accommodations are intended to ensure access that allows students with disabilities to compete equally with their non-disabled peers. Not all accommodations are appropriate for every student.
Students seeking academic accommodations or adjustments must contact the University Accommodations Coordinator to request such services. Students who are unsure who to contact should check with EC-Council University’s Dean or their Academic Advisor.
Students must demonstrate that their need for academic adjustments or other reasonable accommodation is based solely on their permanent disability. After a student submits their documentation, the University Accommodations Coordinator will determine eligibility as well as appropriate and reasonable accommodations. Students are required to renew their accommodations request annually.

Services provided are confidential. ECCU does not release information to any persons or agencies without the written consent of the student.

To receive accommodations, a student with a disability must meet the following criteria:
Students are required to provide the professional staff counselor with medical or psychological documentation in order to receive accommodations. All medical information remains confidential and is only released to other University personnel with the student’s written consent.

Students will have access to the web course materials they need to complete Assignments and to participate in group or class sessions.
EC-Council University ensures that all students will be treated equally.
