In the spirit of Christ and the example of Francis of Assisi, the Mission of OSF HealthCare is to serve persons with the greatest care and love in a community that celebrates the Gift of Life.
It is consistent with the Mission of the College, the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act 50 (ADA), and the Illinois Human Rights Act for the College to provide a “reasonable accommodation” to qualified individuals with disabilities who are otherwise qualified to enroll in and graduate from the nursing program. If you wish to request accommodation, you may contact the Associate Dean, Support Services at:
ADA Coordinator
Associate Dean of Support Services
Saint Anthony College of Nursing
Health Sciences Center
3301 North Mulford Road
Rockford, IL 61114
815-282-7900 ext. 27611
The Associate Dean of Support Services will provide information on the policy and process for requesting accommodation. Once the request for reasonable accommodation has been received, a process is initiated whereby the College will consider the accommodation requested and the College’s ability to grant the request without undue hardship. The student will be expected to bear any costs associated with the request. If the student feels unfairly or improperly treated due to a disability, the student should first try to resolve it with the faculty or staff member. If this does not happen, the student may file a complaint with the Associate Dean for Support Services (within 30 business days of the occurrence that prompted the complaint). The Associate Dean will clarify the rights, policies, and procedures for both policies. If the complaint is still not resolved, the student may appeal to the President within 10 business days. A response will be provided to the student within 30 business days.
