On the path to success

Our mission is to teach students and alumni lifelong skills for the career development process. We also strive to assist them in reaching personal excellence, virtue and a productive life.

Tutoring

Writing Center

Belmont Abbey College’s Writing Center exists to help students become better writers. We offer peer tutoring to students from all majors and will help with any writing-focused project for any class. Our one-on-one sessions have both student and tutor work through strategies to improve student writing. Students are welcome to come to the Writing Center during any stage in the process including brainstorming ideas to writing a rough draft to perfecting a final version. The Writing Center does not edit or proofread writing projects. Instead, our focus is on teaching students how to organize their projects, how to write a thesis statement and make an argument, and how to use sources. The Center is focused on helping students to improve their overall writing skills.

Accessibility

Accommodation Policy

Once accepted to the College, students who wish to receive reasonable accommodations must take the following steps:

  • Complete and submit the Confidential Student Disclosure and Accommodations Request Form.
  • Along with the Disclosure form mentioned above, provide recent documentation of a medical assessment and/or psycho-educational evaluation. Documentation for a psychological disorder should be current within the last twelve (12) months.
    • Documentation should define the disability according to professional standards.
    • Documentation should list the recommended accommodations.
    • Documentation should explain the rationale for those accommodations concerning the student’s specific situation.
  • Throughout the student’s enrollment at Belmont Abbey, they are responsible for reinstating any accommodations by completing the Confidential Student Disclosure and Accommodations Request Form at the start of each academic year.
  • Reasonable accommodations related to coursework and classroom environments will be determined case-by-case. Examples of standard accommodations include extended time on tests, a distraction-reduced testing environment, and minor modifications to methods of testing.
  • Students with disabilities are expected to maintain the same academic standards as students without accommodations and should seek academic support if necessary.

The Office of Academic Assistance invites students with disabilities to contact them anytime for a consultation. We will treat all questions and concerns confidentially. Please note that neither the Coordinator of Accessibility Services nor any other official of the College may discuss the student’s disability with the student’s parent(s), guardian(s), or instructors without the student’s written consent.

Support Animal Policy

Belmont Abbey College recognizes the importance of Service and Emotional Support Animals (ESA) to individuals with disabilities. The ESA policies ensure that students with disabilities who require the use of Service or Emotional Support Animals receive the benefits needed through these animals. The policy also protects the rights of students without disabilities.

The Coordinator of Accessibility Services should receive requests for an Emotional Support Animal as soon as possible. Requests received within thirty days of a student moving into college housing do not allow time for a housing assignment that meets the individual’s needs during the first semester of occupancy. Students can find the necessary forms to apply for an ESA in the Office of Academic Assistance, Accessibility Services.
