NOVA is committed to ensuring all students have an opportunity to pursue a college education regardless of the presence or absence of a disability. Information on NOVA’s Accommodations and Accessibility Services,  including how to reach an Accommodations and Accessibility Services counselor, can be found at Accommodations and Accessibility Services.

Under Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), disability services are available to currently enrolled students who have a documented disability that substantially limits them in one or more of life's major activities and who are otherwise academically qualified.  Students requesting disability accommodations for a NOVA Online course follow the same procedures as students requesting accommodations for a NOVA campus-based course. Please carefully review the information on NOVA's Accommodations and Accessibility Services website. Students applying for accommodations for the first time will find instructions for completing and submitting the application on the Accommodations and Accessibility Services page.

Many of the activities in this course take place within the Canvas learning management system.  You can learn more about the accessibility of Canvas here:

• Review the Canvas Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) to evaluate Canvas' conformance with accessibility standards.
• See Accessibility within Canvas to check screen reader and browser combinations and keyboard shortcuts supported by Canvas.

The materials and activities are as accessible as possible with reasonable effort as outlined in the American with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) of 2008 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504.
