Because the MTSU School of Nursing seeks to provide in as much as possible a reasonably safe environment for its health career students and their patients, a student may be required, during the course of the program, to demonstrate his/her physical and/or emotional fitness to meet the essential requirements of the program.  Such essential requirements may include freedom from communicable disease, the ability to perform certain physical tasks, and suitable emotional fitness.  Any appraisal measures used to determine such physical and/or emotional fitness will be in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, so as not to discriminate against any individual on the basis of disability.
