Recruitment, Admissions, and Students with Disabilities: A Guide for Compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Amendments of 1992 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Third Edition.
American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, Washington, DC.; American Council on Education, Washington, DC. HEATH Resource Center.
The third edition of this guide on serving postsecondary students with disabilities reflects the language of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as well as that of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. An introduction briefly describes both the ADA and Section 504 regulations, noting their close coordination. A section on persons to whom the law applies presents the definition of a handicapped person under Section 504 and an opinion of the Attorney General on the inclusion of alcoholics and drug addicts. The bulk of the guide considers how the law applies to various college admissions activities, including: (1) recruitment, (2) publications, (3) application forms and related topics, (4) admissions tests, (5) financial aid, (6) orientation, and (7) registration. Information provided for each area includes regulation, clarification, what is imperative, and suggested activities. A checklist for development of recruitment and admissions policies and practices by colleges and universities includes many of the "imperatives" and "suggested activities" outlined in the guide. An appendix lists three organizational resources for additional information. (DB)
