Accessibility Services

The Office of Student Services provides accommodations and services to qualified students pursuant to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA).

What We Do

New England Law Boston is committed to creating an equitable, inclusive, and accessible environment that ensures all students have equal access to all institutional academic programs and learning opportunities. Accessibility Services, located within the Office of Student Services, provides reasonable accommodations, auxiliary aids, and services to qualified students pursuant to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA).

Accessibility Services facilitates an interactive process to understand a student’s request(s) and determine effective accommodations. While documentation may be sufficient to establish a diagnosed disability, documentation alone does not inform whether we put accommodations in place or the specifics of those accommodations. Every request for accommodations is unique and is explored on an individual, case-by-case basis. At New England Law | Boston, we prioritize equity and do our best to put accommodations in place that provide the most equitable experience on campus, without fundamentally altering the essential learning objectives of an academic course or program.
