DETERMINATION OF REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS

There are two primary concerns when determining accommodations. First, the accommodation must effectively provide access for the student to the course or academic program and second, the accommodation must not compromise academic standards. Based on the student’s documentation as well as their input on what accommodations have worked in the past, the Coordinator of Disability Services determines the accommodation that will be used. The professor may be consulted regarding course requirements and student expectations to ensure that an accommodation would not compromise the academic standards of the course. As mentioned previously, all requests initially must be made by the student to Disability Services. The Coordinator of Disability Services is responsible for making the final determinations as to the eligibility for and nature of the reasonable accommodations.
