Since students on an international campus will not have access to the Disabilities Office located on Harding University's Searcy campus, the student must self-identify with the International Studies office prior to being accepted for a semester abroad.  Reasonable academic accommodations (e.g. extended time on tests, a quiet room/no distractions for testing, etc.) may be made by the faculty on an international campus. However, a doctor’s statement will be required for a physical or psychological disability stating that the student is capable of  fully  participating in the rigorous travel itinerary (group and independent travel), as well as, intense academics the semester he/she is abroad.
