Definition of Disability
According to Section 3 of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), the term "disability"
means, with respect to an individual,
A. having a physical or mental impairment that
substantially limits one or more of the
major life activities of such individual;
B. having a record of such an impairment; or
C. being regarded as having such an impairment.
Otherwise Qualified Applicant
A student who provides Disabled Student Services with sufficient evidence of disability to meet the
standards established by the ADA or Section 504 is eligible for appropriate accommodations and
services at MSU-Bozeman, provided the student is an otherwise qualified applicant. (In this case,
the term "applicant" means both an applicant for admission to the university and an applicant for
enrollment in a specific course of study.)
In order to be considered an otherwise qualified applicant, a student with a disability must be
capable, either with or without accommodations, of fulfilling the essential requirements of a program
of instruction (i.e., a class, major, or degree program).
