Belhaven University offers students disability accommodation in accordance with the guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
It is our primary focus that students who qualify for ADA have reasonable accommodations to make them academically successful within their college career. Accommodations are based off individual needs.
Please see the steps below to start the accommodation process. We look forward to serving you!
