Rockhurst University is committed to providing equal opportunities for all. This is consistent with the Catholic and Jesuit nature of the institution whose mission involves "trying to maintain an atmosphere of respect and sensitivity toward the ultimate dignity of every person." This is based on Rockhurst's core value of being a "caring community, including personal care for every student and a sensitivity toward the dignity and sacredness of every person." In this spirit, the Access office offers services in order to provide an opportunity for students with disabilities to participate and benefit from the institution's programs and services. This pamphlet serves as a reference for students, staff and faculty in order to provide clear and accurate information regarding support services offered for students with disabilities at Rockhurst University.
