<p>Does anyone know Fordhams stand on learning disabilities? I would love to attend, but I have an IEP (Individualized education plan) for Attention Deficiet Disorder, and I would probably have to take somewhat basic math/science core courses...also my sats scores have been a reflection of this disability etc. </p>
<p>Basically does anyone know if/how Fordham weighs learning disabilities into their admissions process?</p>
<p>I swear I have ADHD...
Sometimes Its almost impossible to focus for longer than 2 minutes</p>
<p>Collegegrl4: This is the kind of situation that warrants a call the the Admissions Office, where they can address your questions directly. Good luck!!</p>
<p>718 817-0655 is the number for disability services.</p>
<p>or call enrollment at 718-817-4000.</p>
<p>thank you we will contact them or talk to them when we go for a visit!</p>
<p>The University will make admission decisions using criteria which do not consider an individual's disability. Thus, the University will not impose or apply admission or eligibility criteria that screen out or tend to screen out individuals on the basis of their disability, unless such criteria is necessary for the provision of the program, service or activity being offered. The University believes that this carries out the intent of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.</p>
<p>Students with disabilities desiring to enroll in any program, service or activity of Fordham University must be able to meet the minimal standards of both the University and the particular school, program, service, or activity to which admission is sought.</p>
<p>The University does not engage in affirmative action programs for students with disabilities, nor does it consider a student's disability in evaluating admission criteria. It is, of course, within the student's discretion to inform the Admissions Committee of a disability if they wish. If this choice is made, the University will not discriminate against the student on the basis of the disability and will make reasonable accommodations when necessary.</p>
<p>A person with a disability may request reasonable accommodation in the application process. A person with a disability who requests a reasonable accommodation in the application process must make that request to the Director of Admissions. It is the applicant's responsibility to identify and substantiate the disability and the need for accommodation, and to explain how the accommodation requested relates to the disability.</p>
<p>All questions concerning undergraduate admissions should be directed to the Dean of Undergraduate Admissions, Duane Library (718) 817-4000.</p>
