Do Not Call/CAN SPAM

The National Do Not Call Registry gives you an opportunity to limit the telemarketing calls you receive. Once you register your phone number, telemarketers covered by the National Do Not Call Registry have up to 31 days from the date you register to stop calling you. The National Do Not Call Registry is managed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency. It is enforced by the FTC, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and state law enforcement officials.

For more information, as well as frequently asked questions regarding the Do Not Call Registry, please visit the FTC Website.

Disability Issues

ADA/Section 504

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) require that no otherwise qualified person with a disability shall be denied a benefit or opportunity (employment or education) or be excluded from participation solely on the basis of that disability. If a student or employee with a disability is otherwise qualified, the institution may be required to make a reasonable accommodation for that disability. Whether an accommodation is reasonable depends on the full circumstances, and not simply on whether it would cost more than, for example, a student's tuition. The following websites provide guidance on employment and participation in programs at institutions of education.
