Services for Students with Disabilities
It is the goal of John Brown University that all enrolled students be given equal opportunity to succeed in their quest for a higher education that is based upon our “Christ Over All” philosophy and that integrates the educational principles of “Head, Heart, and Hand.” In accordance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the ADAA, John Brown University is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to students who are disabled.
The Director of Student Support Services works with students and instructors to arrange appropriate assistance in learning and physical access. Students having documented disabilities are encouraged to contact the director at (479) 524-7401, email jheathcote@jbu.edu, or to stop by the Office of Disability Services located in the Learning Resource Center (LRC), Room 150.
Student Development Office
Office of Christian Formation
The Office of Christian Formation (OCF) exists to lead the JBU community to become more like Christ through discipleship, corporate worship, and outreach. Within OCF are two primary divisions related to JBU students: Chapel and Student Ministries. For information, call (479) 524-7213.
Chaplain
The JBU Online Undergraduate Program Chaplain serves JBU’s adult learner population through pastoral presence and prayer. The Chaplain writes a monthly devotion and receives and prays for any prayer requests given on behalf of the students. In these and a variety of other ways, the Chaplain supports the mission of John Brown University, fostering the spiritual growth, giving emotional support and assistance when needed.
Counseling Services
(JBU) Subsidized Counseling for JBU Online Undergraduate Students: Students who are currently enrolled full-time in online undergraduate classes are eligible to receive JBU-subsidized counseling services at counseling practices that have agreements with JBU in place. Counseling is for the purpose of helping the students work through personal concerns that might otherwise make continuing their education more of a challenge. For information, email Missy Swyers at MSwyers@jbu.edu.
