ADA Compliance Policy

The ADA Compliance Officer has been designated by the University to administer ADA and Section 504 compliance efforts. To ensure prompt resolution of complaints, students must contact the ADA Compliance Officer within thirty (30) calendar days of date the event giving rise to the complaint occurred, or the date the student became aware of the event, which ever occurred later. Students should initiate a complaint by contacting the ADA Compliance Officer in the Office of the Vice President for Student Life at the following address or e-mail:

Dr. Frank Ardaiolo

Vice President for Student Life

238 DiGiorgio Campus Center

Winthrop University

Rock Hill, SC 29733

During an initial meeting with the ADA Compliance Officer, the student will be provided with the ADA Compliance Complaint Form. Students should complete the Complaint Form and file it with the Compliance Officer within fifteen (15) days of receiving the form. After receiving the completed Complaint Form, the Compliance Officer will conduct a formal review.

The University’s internal procedures are designed to ensure a timely and effective resolution to student complaints. Although students have the right to pursue appeals through external channels, they are encouraged to use the University’s internal procedures prior to lodging complaints with agencies outside the University.
