Services and Facilities for Students with Disabilities

Pinnacle Career Institute is committed to providing an accessible and supportive environment for students with disabilities, consistent with its obligations under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Accordingly, Pinnacle Career Institute does not discriminate on the basis of disability against otherwise-qualified individuals in any program, service, or activity offered by a Pinnacle Career Institute school, and strives to ensure that no otherwise qualified individual with a disability is excluded, denied services, segregated, or otherwise treated differently than other individuals because of the absence of auxiliary aids or other appropriate services. However, accommodations cannot result in an undue burden to Pinnacle Career Institute or fundamentally alter the requirements essential to a program of instruction.

National Council of State Authorization of Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA)

Pinnacle Career Institute has been approved to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements.

NC_SARA_Seal_2021

PCI is approved by NC-Sara to offer its distance education programs to students in other member states.  The State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements, commonly known as SARA, provides a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of postsecondary distance education.  When states join SARA, they agree to follow uniform processes for approving their eligible institutions' participation.  They also agree to deal with other states' SARA institutions in a common way when those institutions carry out activities in SARA states other than their own.

SARA's policies help protect students and provide benefits to both states and institutions carrying out distance education in multiple states.  As of July 2019, 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are members of SARA.  About 1,993 colleges and universities are approved by SARA.
