CUKC is dedicated to the success of every student throughout their educational journey. Access services and accommodations for students with disabilities include:
If you are a student with a disability, you must complete an Accommodations Request form and meet our documentation requirements to qualify for services. After we receive your documentation, you will meet with a learning specialist to discuss appropriate access services.
We have adopted the following definition when determining whether a particular student has a disability that may need accommodation. A disability is defined as “a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of an individual, such as caring for oneself, learning, working, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, and breathing.”
Impairment may be “any physiological disorder or condition, cosmetic disfigurement, anatomical loss, or psychological disorder such as retardation, organic brain syndromes, emotional or mental illness, and specific learning disabilities” (Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act).
There are many reasons you could need support outside of the classroom. Personal, academic, or professional challenges can all interfere with your ability to perform your best academically.
CUKC college counseling services are available to support your well-being as part of your overall academic success.
Sometimes you just need someone to listen, which is why CUKC works with Varsity Health to provide comprehensive behavioral healthcare to students. Through Varsity Health’s Recuro Behavioral Health network, students can connect with a psychiatrist or licensed counselor via secure, private video and phone sessions, available in all 50 states. All counseling services are covered for CUKC students, with psychiatric care services available at a reduced rate.
Using Recuro’s virtual access, patients can make an appointment on their lunch break, while traveling, or on weekends to utilize this service. Services include ongoing counseling, medication management, and assessments – a few examples of conditions would be grief and loss, addiction, trauma/PTSD, depression, and anxiety.
All counseling services are covered for CUKC students, and psychiatric care services are available at a reduced fee schedule.
Need help with research? The CUKC library staff provides training on using PubMed and other databases, and instructs users on constructing search strategies and evaluating search results.
As a student, you’ll also have access to books and journals at CUKC and beyond through inter-library loan.
Services are available on campus and online.
At CUKC, we believe experiential learning is your bridge between academics and professional practice.
We offer internships for both College of Chiropractic and College of Health Sciences students with facilities in the KC Metro and beyond to provide students with experiential learning related to their program of study:
