Does Section 504 Apply To Colleges and Universities?
Section 504 applies to post-secondary institutions that receive federal funding. Post-secondary institutions have no duty to identify, evaluate, hold Section 504 committee meetings, or develop accommodation plans. They must, however, provide reasonable accommodations or academic adjustments to Section 504 eligible students. The Section 504 regulations included a subpart E (34 C.F.R. 104.41-101-47), which details the preceding requirements.
