Joliet Junior College is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, gender, martial status, sexual orientation, disability, unfavorable military discharge, or any other unlawful basis in its admission, employment, educational programs, and activities.
In accordance with the requirements of Section 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Joliet Junior College will not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of disability in its services, programs, or activities. JJC does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its hiring or employment practices and complies with all regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The College has created a grievance procedure which provides students an opportunity for a prompt and fair resolution of ADA or Section 504 grievances. These procedures are for students who feel that they have been discriminated or harassed on the basis of disability by any member of the campus community including students, faculty, staff, employment and admission applicants, vendors, contractors, and third parties.
The objective of the grievance procedure is resolution and a key component to a resolution is communication.
Initially in an effort to reach resolution, students should address their concern with the Manager of Disability Services. In cases where the manager is involved in the allegations or when this process is not successful, the grievance can be submitted to the ADA Coordinator via the grievance form, by email or by phone.
All ADA complaints will be submitted through the grievance form to the Manager of Disability Services and will copy in the ADA Coordinator. If the grievance is directed against the Manager of Disability Services, the form will be routed only to the ADA Coordinator.
