The University of Toledo

ADA/504 Compliance

Welcome to the ADA/504 Compliance website.  This has been created as a mechanism for important communication regarding The Americans with Disabilities Act as Amended (ADAAA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (504).  It offers information for employee accommodation requests and provides a platform to communicate University policy and practice related to equal access and non-discrimination on the basis of disability and serves as a resource.  It also serves as an excellent example of the University's ongoing commitment to diversity.

The website was developed with one goal in mind and that was to assist the campus community with understanding the nuances of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 and the institution's obligations under the Act.  We strive to ensure that everyone has access to, along with full and equal employment of, all services and accommodations of The University of Toledo.
