Disability Accommodation. Reasonable accommodations will be made in assisting students who have disabilities to fulfill clinical and professional requirements. The ultimate determination regarding the reasonableness of accommodations will be based on the preservation of client safety and the resources of Jamestown College and the Department of Nursing. Students requesting disability accommodations should refer to the detailed policy included with the application packet and contact the director of the Learning and Academic Advising Center. For further information regarding Jamestown College’s policy on disabilities, please see the Guidelines for Student Requests for Reasonable Accommodation on the Basis of a Learning Disability in the Catalog. A criminal background check, will be completed per affiliating healthcare agencies requirements. This process will be initiated by the Department of Nursing. Participation in the criminal background check is necessary for obtaining clearance for a student’s participation in clinical learning opportunities at various healthcare facilities. Depending on the criminal background check results, the student may be denied progression in the nursing program. For the complete policy, refer to the Department of Nursing Student Handbook.
