Here at Life Pacific College, we believe that every student has the capacity to assimilate scholastic information to improve his or her current academic competence and is also capable of taking personal responsibility for their academic growth. Therefore any student facing a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities as defined by the 1990 American Disabilities Act is encouraged to apply for reasonable accommodations. 

For more information about the procedure for application, click below:

1990 American Disabilities Act
The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act mandated equal opportunity for students to participate or benefit from the services offered by a place of public accommodation. This mandate is now inclusive of private universities. A qualified individual under ADA must have a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities. Major life activities involve caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working. Moreover, a qualified disabled student must meet the academic and technical standards requisite for admission or participation in an education program or activity.
