Section 504 is a nondiscrimination statute enacted by the United States Congress.  The purpose of the Act is to prohibit discrimination and to assure that disabled students have educational opportunities and benefits equal to those provided to nondisabled students.  An eligible student under Section 504 is a student who has record of having, or is regarded as having, a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits a major life activity.
