Section 504 of The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in programs, public and private, that receive federal financial assistance. 第504条包括机构，不论它们是否开门, selective, or competitive admissions practices.

How these Laws Apply to Higher Education

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 were designed to ensure that colleges and universities are free from discrimination in their recruitment, admission, and treatment of students.

In the application of both laws, 残疾学生必须有资格参加大学的活动. A qualified student with a disability is one who meets the admission and essential eligibility requirements of a program or service, with or without:

• modifications of rules, policies, or procedures;
• 消除建筑、通讯或运输障碍;
• provision of auxiliary aids and services.

The University does not have to provide personal attendants, individually prescribed devices, readers for personal use or study, or other devices or services of a personal nature, such as tutoring or typing (United States Office of Civil Rights, July, 2002).

The institution must provide auxiliary aids to ensure the participation of students in college classes and activities and must accommodate the academic participation of qualified students with disabilities. The institution must NOT:

• limit the number of students with disabilities admitted;
• 在入学前询问申请人是否有残疾;
• 使用不能充分衡量视障学生学术水平的入学考试或标准, hearing impaired, 或因未获特别照顾而残疾的申请人;
• 仅因残疾而将残疾学生排除在任何课程之外;
• 建议残疾学生选择比非残疾学生限制性更强的职业, 除非该咨询是根据某一专业严格的执照或认证要求提供的;
• 使用歧视残疾学生的模式来衡量学生的成绩;
• institute prohibitive rules (such as the barring of tape recorders or other auxiliary aids) that may adversely affect the performance of students with disabilities;
• 选择一个不允许残疾人参加的场地或设施.

法律没有要求对残疾学生给予特殊待遇, 但确实要求学生有机会平等参与大学的课程. This is done by providing to eligible and qualified students appropriate academic adjustments and auxiliary aids necessary to facilitate the students’ fullest possible participation in the University’s academic programs.
