Policies
At Wagner College, we are committed to ensuring that students with disabilities have equal access to our programs and services. Accordingly, it is essential for us to recognize the importance of service animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments (ADAAA) which are trained to help disabled persons do work or carry out certain tasks that benefit the individual and develop a policy that allows us to better serve students who need help to utilize the services of such animals. This policy will ensure the rights of persons with disabilities who require the use of a service animal on campus to facilitate their full participation and equal access to the college’s programs and services. The foundation of this policy is to promote equal access in a non-discriminatory manner and to support the principle that individuals with disabilities be provided equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from support and services at Wagner College.
