DREAM - Disability Rights, Education, Activism, and Mentoring Sponsored by AHEAD

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
DREAM (Disability Rights, Education Activism, and Mentoring) is a national organization for and by college students with disabilities. Our work is supported by our sponsoring organization, the National Center for College Students with Disabilities (NCCSD), which is based at the Association on Higher Education And Disability (AHEAD).

DREAM is open to higher education students of all types, including graduate students, part-time students, and those who are auditing higher education courses. It is open to students of all ages with any kind of disability, culturally Deaf students, and nondisabled students who are our allies and peers. We explicitly include people who have traditionally been marginalized or under-represented in the disability or higher education communities.

We strongly advocate for disability culture, community, and pride, and hope to serve as an online virtual disability cultural center for students who want to connect with other students.

To request copies for review of accreditation documents contact the adult education office.

In compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Pike CTC recognizes that qualified students who have been diagnosed or identified as having a learning, physical, or emotional disability are entitled to reasonable accommodations. Pike CTC is committed to making every effort to providing reasonable accommodations.

Reasonable accommodation does not negate requirements for successful completion of a program or adherence to generally acceptable student code of conduct, and adherence to administrative and faculty/staff directions and instructions. In determining Pike CTC's ability to offer reasonable accommodation to an otherwise qualified student with a disability, documentation concerning the diagnosis may be requested and each request for an accommodation will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Factors to be examined include among others:

the academic and technical standards required for admission or participation in an educational program;

the precise education-related abilities and functional limitations of the student and how those limitations could be overcome with reasonable accommodations;

the effects of the disability could be overcome with reasonable accommodation;

the nature and cost of accommodation required in relation to the school's financial resources;

other federal, state and local regulatory requirements.

Pike CTC provides career and placement services to students and graduates.

Career aptitude assessments are available for those seeking the right training program or career.

Career skills such as resume writing and interviewing are available.

Local career opportunities are posted in the school.

Previous credit earned at other institutions do not transfer. Students that want to switch programs once they have started must withdraw from the current program and start as a new student in the new program. The student transferring to another program would have to complete a withdraw form for the current program and meet all admission requirements for the new program.

· A test applicant must provide written approval from the parent, guardian or court official. A signed and notarized consent form must be submitted to the State of Ohio High School Equivalence Office.

When paying for college, students at Ohio public institutions of higher education have a number of ways to lower the cost of sticker price tuition.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Passed in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act has required schools to accommodate the needs of their disabled students, breaking down many barriers that prevented students from accessing educational resources, and enabling more people to enjoy the full benefits of a college education. Recruitment efforts and financial aid opportunities aimed at disabled students now exist at a number of schools. Additionally, many private organizations award scholarship money to ensure that students with disabilities are able to achieve their college goals, despite potential setbacks such as learning issues, environmental challenges, or medical conflicts.

Continue reading the article below the scholarship list.

Who Qualifies?

Disability scholarships exist to provide college funding for students who possess numerous cognitive, behavioral, and emotional impediments that would make it difficult to attain a college degree. These scholarship opportunities help deserving students stay in school and out of debt, allowing them to more easily achieve their educational and career goals.

Disability scholarships are funded by a variety of scholarship providers with different requirements. They can be intended to help students with a specific disability pay for school, or they can be aimed at a wider range of students who have physical or mental issues. Disability scholarship providers may choose to narrow their awards towards students who have completed a specific program or who will attend a particular college or university. Some scholarship awards are aimed at groups that face multiple barriers to education; such as low-income, minority, or females with disabilities. Certain local scholarships might also be earmarked for disabled students.

Disability Scholarship Opportunities

With many disability scholarships out there, regardless of their requirements, all you have to know is where to begin searching. Below are some examples of disability scholarships from our database of over 2.7 million college scholarships. To find out if you qualify for these and other awards, simply fill out a profile on Scholarships.com, and conduct a free scholarship search. You'll receive a list of disability scholarships and other relevant scholarship awards. From there, just read the information provided and begin to apply for scholarships. Below are a few examples of scholarships available to those with various physical challenges and/or other disabilities.

Wednesday evening we headed to the Gateway to have dinner at Cazuela's. Caden was surprised when the restaurant sang him Happy Birthday. We celebrated with cupcakes.

We have welcomed 9 new freshmen to Ohio State who are in full swing of orientation activities. We also have 8 other students deciding what college might look like for them!

Monday night a group of current TOPS students and alumni led a tour of campus. During orientation week, we do a lot of walking on campus for students to begin to familiarize themselves with where the landmarks are. On the tour, students passed through the oval to go from Ohio Union to Thompson Library. They also stopped at the RPAC. Did you know, the RPAC is one of the largest recreation facilities in the country? It is also only one of many recreation facilities on campus to which students have access. There were many other sites on campus for students to see!

Think College Awareness Week is a national event to raise awareness of college options for students with intellectual disabilities.

This week-long event will offer daily virtual learning events sharing information and resources for students, families, educators, transition professionals, and higher education personnel.

"On a dreary, rain-soaked day, the presence of a furry friend breaks through the gloom and warms us to our core. Her name is Cascade, a therapy dog from Buckeye Paws. With her infectious smile and gentle demeanor, she effortlessly melts away our worries and stress, leaving us feeling refreshed and renewed. As she pads her way into our lives, Monday suddenly becomes infused with a vibrant energy, and we find ourselves grateful for the simple joy of spending time with such a lovely creature."

Full Description

Career and Community Studies is a college-based, transition, non-degree program to prepare students with intellectual and developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injury and autism (ages 18 and older) for adult life through academic pursuits, peer socialization, and career discovery and preparation. The program integrates inclusive classes, a typical college experience, and a transition curriculum to assist students in achieving adult roles and a quality of life in a community of their choice.

The first year of the program is designed as a foundation with courses covering disability issues, personal development, health and wellness, and literacies. Year two allows students to extend their knowledge and skills in participating in college-level courses and other campus environments. The last two years focus on career-field specialization with courses in independent living, life-long learning competencies, and career development and employment, as well as internships in the community where students apply their learning in jobs of choice.

The Career and Community Studies Program (CCS) is excited to offer two new two-year programs ( Career and Community Studies-College Preparation and Career and Community Studies-Employment Readiness)for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities or autism in addition to the four-year plan of study. The programs are non-degree and require 60 credits to graduate.

Clark Scholars are engaged fully as BGSU Firelands College students, participating in college classes, student life activities, and career development. To earn the Career Pathways Certificate, students typically spend an average of 24 hours or more on the Firelands campus each week, completing coursework, receiving individualized support, gaining work experience, and socializing with peers. Each student and Program staff develop individualized plans to guide their program of study, including college courses, career development activities, student life involvement, and community engagement. Like all college students, Clark Scholars work on skills that may lead to competitive employment, meaningful careers, and community membership. CISP is generously funded by the Clark Family Foundation. Most of CISP students' tuition is paid by the Foundation.

Remote Learning Update:

As part of the pandemic response, Wittenberg granted remote learning accommodations for students whose health or that of family members residing with them could have been disproportionally impacted by exposure to COVID-19. The safety of our community and individual members was, and is, a top concern as we have worked through this unprecedented time. We will continue to monitor the health guidance from Ohio Department of Health and the CDC as we move closer to the fall semester.

Wittenberg values the in-person experience and feels that it is vital for the development and growth of students. As of fall 2021, a full semester of remote accommodation will not be available. Moving forward, Wittenberg may consider using remote accommodations temporarily in rare situations.

Accessibility Services

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Walsh University is committed to fostering an institutional climate in which qualified students with disabilities have full access to the academic environment. Accessibility Services allows students the opportunity for full participation in the Walsh Experience by providing reasonable, appropriate accommodations, as directed by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008.

Housed in Farrell Hall Room 209 along with the Academic Support Center, Accessibility Services verifies students' disability status and determines eligibility for specific accommodations. Academic accommodations, such as tape recorders, extended test time, and testing in a distraction-reduced space, are coordinated through this office, as are physical accommodations, including disability-appropriate housing, food modifications, and physical changes to classrooms or labs. Students must register with the Director of Academic Support Services in order to receive these services. Per federal law, Accessibility Services can provide these accommodations only to students with qualified, verified disabilities and not to the general student population.

The Accessibility Services also serves as the Chairperson of Walsh's ADA Committee and thus works with Human Resources and the Dean of Academic Administration to be the University's point-person on matters pertaining to legal accommodations for students, faculty, and staff.

How to Register with Accessibility Services

1. Submit a completed Request for Accommodations Form

Forms can be obtained in the Academic Support Center, located in Farrell Hall 209, or by clicking the link above.

Completed forms include the type of disability and the specific accommodations desired. The accommodations requested must be appropriate to the specific disability and be offered by the University.

2. Submit current documentation of a disability completed by a qualified professional

Students are encouraged to submit documentation to Accessibility Services prior to enrollment, but documentation can be submitted at any time.

Submit documentation directly to the Director of Academic Support Services, Meredith Soduk, in Farrell Hall 209. Documentation can be dropped off in person, emailed to msoduk@walsh.edu , or faxed to 330.490.7272.

3. Schedule an intake meeting with the Director of Academic Support Services

Schedule an intake meeting once you have completed the Request for Accommodations Form and submitted current disability-related documentation.

During this meeting, you will discuss:

Eligible services based upon documentation and disability-related needs

Policies and procedures for utilizing and coordinating accommodations

Any other questions/concerns you may have

You are welcome to bring a support person (parent/guardian, spouse, case manager) to this meeting.

Equity, Access & Opportunity - Office for Disability Services

Tiffin University's Commitment to Equal Access and Diversity

Tiffin University is committed in policy and practice to providing an educational experience and environment that is equally accessible for all, including those with a documented disability so that individuals with disabilities have equal access and opportunity to learn and achieve based on their innate abilities and are not inhibited by barriers created by the interaction between their disability and the institutional environment or academic requirements.

TU's Office for Disability Services supports this institutional commitment to diversity by providing educational opportunities for qualified individuals with disabilities through accessible programs and services in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, as amended (ADAAA). In addition, the Office serves as a resource to the University community by providing consultation and advocacy services related to compliance.

The Accommodation Approval Process

The Office for Disability Services encourages prospective students with disabilities to contact ODS during the pre-admissions process for general information about the services we have to offer. However, prospective students should wait until they have been accepted and have committed to attending TU to fill out the Disability Services Registration Form.

Eligibility for services or accommodation from the Office for Disability Services is a separate process from TU's Admissions process. Requesting services through ODS has no impact on admissions decisions, financial aid, or eligibility to enroll in courses or for other student services.

Disclosure of a disability is voluntary. Individuals with disabilities are not required to register or identify themselves in any way unless they wish to receive services or accommodation from the University. However, individuals with qualifying disabilities who need accommodation must follow the accommodation approval process to get the accommodation approved. It is the individual with a disability's responsibility to initiate this process as needed. It is important to note that not all accommodation requests may be fulfilled.

The steps in the accommodation approval process include the following:

The student registers with the Office for Disability Services;

The student takes part in the interactive process with ODS;

The student submits supporting documentation; and

Disability Services conducts an accommodation request analysis.

The entire accommodation approval process should be completed a minimum of 2-3 weeks before the accommodation is needed.

REGISTRATION

Although TU will accept and consider requests for reasonable accommodation at any time, the individual requesting accommodation should start the accommodation approval process far enough in advance to allow the entire process to be completed a minimum of 2-3 weeks before the accommodation is needed unless a specific timeframe is otherwise noted in the ODS Student Manual. If a request is made fewer than 60 days, or the specified timeframe otherwise noted, before the individual needs the accommodation, TU cannot guarantee that it will be able to meet the individual's accommodation needs during the requested timeframe.

The individual with a disability starts the accommodation approval process by filling out the online Disability Services Registration Form.

Absent exceptional circumstances, Disability Services will attempt to respond to the individual with a disability's request for accommodation within thirty (30) business days of receiving their Registration Form. This response will be emailed to the individual's Tiffin University email address.

Interactive Process / Inquiry Meeting

The interactive process is an informal dialogue between the individual with a disability and the Coordinator for Disability Services to identify the precise barriers resulting from the intersection of the individual's disability and the University's programs, activities, and environments to determine the potential reasonable accommodations that could remove those barriers. The interactive process takes place during an Inquiry Meeting.

The response email sent to the individual with a disability upon receiving the Registration Form will contain a letter instructing the individual to schedule the mandatory Inquiry Meeting. It is the individual with a disability's responsibility to schedule this meeting, which can take place in person, virtually, or by phone. The individual must be present during this interactive process; no one else can stand in for the individual with a disability on their behalf.

Supporting Documentation

To receive reasonable accommodations for a disability, the individual with a disability must provide appropriate supporting medical documentation. The documentation can be submitted at any time during the accommodation approval process.

There are three acceptable sources or forms of documentation that can be provided to support the need for accommodations because of a disability.

Primary Documentation - This is the individual's self-report. This documentation source may be sufficient in cases where the disability is visible, and its impact is apparent.

Secondary Documentation -This is the impressions and conclusions formed by the Coordinator for Disability Services during the interactive process with the individual or in evaluating the effectiveness of previously implemented accommodations.

Tertiary Documentation - This is written documentation from external or third-party sources. This documentation source is often necessary in cases where the disability is invisible or its impact is not apparent.

Tertiary Documentation Guidelines
The medical professional may choose the format they provide the third-party documentation in as long as it meets the following requirements to be sufficient (Please see the Office for Disability Services Student Manual for the complete list of Tertiary Documentation Guidelines):

The documentation must come from a licensed or otherwise properly credentialed medical or mental healthcare professional who has direct experience with the specific individual and their disability.
The documentation must include the following: The professional's name, address, phone number, email address, title, and professional credentialing, including information about licensing and certification, specialty area, and qualifications for helping people with this specific type of disability.

The documentation must be recent (within the past five years) and age-appropriate, depending on the nature and type of disability, to determine the need for accommodations based on the individual's current level of functioning.

The documentation must include a diagnosis of the disability indicating the current status of the disorder and its prognosis.

The documentation must include an explanation of the nature of the physical or mental impairment specific to this individual and how it substantially limits the condition, manner, and duration of one or more of this individual's major life activities as it pertains to participation in TU's academic and institutional programs, activities, and environment.

The documentation should state what specific academic, housing, or dietary accommodation is needed, with an explanation of why the accommodation is necessary based on the individual's functional limitations.

The documentation must be typed on professional letterhead in English and sent by the healthcare professional directly to the Coordinator for Disability Services via fax, email, or USPS mail.

A previous Evaluation Team Report (ETR), Individualized Educational Program (IEP), Summary of Performance (SOP), or 504 Plan alone is generally insufficient to establish full eligibility for accommodation in higher education. However, these documents can aid in the process of determining what accommodation is appropriate. Individuals requesting accommodation may upload their most recent ETR, IEP, SOP, or 504 Plan with the Disability Services Registration Form to be considered during the accommodation approval process.

Reasonable Accommodations and Services

The Americans with Disabilities Act states that postsecondary institutions must provide reasonable accommodations and make appropriate modifications or adjustments to a course, program, service, policy, or facility when a student discloses a disability. The institution must also provide auxiliary aids and services that enable students with disabilities to participate in, have access to, and benefit from all academic and institutional programs, activities, and environments provided by the educational institution.

Accommodations are based on the impact of the disability, the essential elements of the program or activity, and the interactive process with the student. TU considers all accommodation requests individually on a case-by-case basis. Accommodations provide an alternative way to accomplish the course objectives or requirements by eliminating or reducing disability-related barriers for equal access. Accommodations provide a level playing field, as opposed to an unfair advantage, and vary according to how individuals experience their disability.

Tutoring services are not considered an accommodation as they are available to all TU students regardless of ability or disability through the Office of University Academic Support located in the Murphy Academic Support Center. Additionally, the University is not required to provide personal items that are needed to accomplish daily activities both at school and elsewhere, such as a wheelchair, hearing aid, etc.

While there is no comprehensive list of accommodations and services Tiffin University offers, some of the more common types include, but are not limited to (Please see the Office for Disability Services Student Manual for more information about each accommodation and service):

Alternative Media

Assistive Technology (AT)

Blind and Low Vision Services

Grievances, Appeals, & Complaints of Discrimination, Harassment, & Retaliation

Grievances
Students, faculty, and staff may submit an informal grievance via email to the Coordinator for Disability Services for cases when advocacy for access is needed. As a part of the informal grievance and interactive process, the Coordinator will assist students, faculty, and staff in seeking a resolution for the situation. Advocacy services may include, but are not limited to:

Gaining access to inaccessible programs, activities, or environments;

Ensuring the use of approved accommodations when requested;

Ensuring the proper use of approved accommodation by the student; and

Compliance concerns.

Appeals
An individual whose accommodations are not approved may appeal the final decision on the following grounds:

Procedural irregularity that affected the outcome of the request (e.g., material deviation from established procedures); or

The Coordinator for Disability Services had a conflict of interest or bias for or against the individual requesting the accommodation.

Disagreement with the final accommodation decision is not, by itself, grounds for an appeal.

The student wishing to appeal an accommodation decision must submit the online Office for Disability Services Appeal Request Form within three (3) business days of the date listed on the letter advising the accommodations were not approved.
Internal Complaints of Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation
Students who feel they have been discriminated against, harassed, or retaliated against based on disability may file a formal internal complaint by completing Tiffin University's Title IX and Civil Rights Online Report Form. This right is in accordance with Tiffin University's Title IX & Civil Rights Policy. All complaints will be taken seriously and investigated promptly. If it is determined there has been a violation of University policy, appropriate disciplinary, administrative, or other actions will be taken at TU's sole discretion.
External Complaints
Individuals may file an external complaint with the United States Department of Education Office for Civil Rights.

To this nation's over 43 million citizens with disabilities, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) represents an unprecedented opportunity to eliminate the barriers to independence and productivity.

The ADA is modeled after the Civil Rights Act and Title V of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (e.g., the definition of a "qualified person with a disability" is the same and similar accommodations/modifications are mandated). The Bill was originally drafted by the National Council on Disability and is supported by every major disability organization. The ADA was signed into law in July 1990, and amended in 2008.

What is the purpose of ADA?
The purpose of ADA is to extend to people with disabilities civil rights similar to those now available to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, and religion through the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

What does ADA do?
It prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in private sector employment, services rendered by state and local governments, places of public accommodation, transportation, telecommunications and relay services.

Who is protected under ADA?
Under the ADA a person has a disability if he/she has a substantial physical or mental impairment, has a record of such impairment or is regarded as having such an impairment even if they are not continuously impaired by their disability, (e.g. random epileptic attacks), or have a personal relationship with someone with a known disability. Personal relationships are not limited to family members.

A substantial impairment is one that significantly limits or restricts a major life activity. It includes conditions controlled by medication such as epilepsy or depression or those mitigated by a prosthetic device. Major life activities include (but are not limited to) performing manual tasks, Learning, walking, working, seeing, caring for oneself, hearing, breathing, eating, sleeping, speaking, reading, learning, concentrating, thinking, and communicating.
THE REHABILITATION ACT of 1973, SECTION 504
What is Section 504?
"No otherwise qualified disabled individual in the United States...shall, solely by reason of... disability, be excluded from participating in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance."

A disabled person is "any person who has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more of such person's major life activities, has a record of such an impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment." This includes (but is not limited to) persons with mental retardation; specific learning disabilities; psychiatric problems; traumatic head or spinal cord injuries; orthopedic handicaps; neurological impairments; chronic illness; drug or alcohol addiction (i.e., former users only); and visual, hearing, or speech impairments.

A qualified disabled person is defined as one who meets the requisite academic and technical standards required for admission or participation in the post-secondary institution's programs and activities. Section 504 protects the civil rights of individuals who are qualified to participate and who meet the definition of a disabled person as defined above.

For college students with disabilities, academic adjustments may include such things as adaptations in the way specific course material is presented, the use of auxiliary equipment and support staff, and modifications in academic requirements. A college or university has the flexibility to select the aid or service it provides, as long as it is effective. Such aids or services should be selected in consultation with the student who will use them.

Accommodations include such things as removing architectural barriers; providing readers, note takers, and/or interpreters for classes and related course activities; providing alterations, substitutions, or waivers of courses or degree requirements on a case-by-case basis; altering length or times for exams, and/or allowing use of readers, scribes, etc.; and permitting the use of adaptive equipment or other technology to assist with test-taking and study skills.

Major life activities also include the operation of a major bodily function, including but not limited to functions of the immune system, normal cell growth, digestive, bowel, bladder, neurological, brain, respiratory, circulatory, endocrine, and reproductive functions. With respect to the University's education programs or activities, only students who have an actual disability are entitled to accommodation, although all students who met the definition of a disability (e.g., being regarded as disabled or having a record of a disability), are protected from discrimination. Also as used within this policy, a qualified person with a disability means a student with a diagnosed disability who meets the academic and technical standards requisite for admission to or participation in the University's education program or activity. As used in this policy, "accommodations" include academic adjustments, auxiliary aids and services, or other reasonable accommodations.

It is the responsibility of the student with a disability to provide person identified above the required documentation in order to request and, if appropriate, receive any accommodation. Given the specific nature of each student's disability, the appropriate accommodation shall be determined on an individual basis. Students who wish to request an accommodation are required to submit a written request for accommodation to the University's Section 504 Compliance Officer. Students must use the University approved "Request for Accommodation" form that may be obtained from the 504 Compliance Officer or via the list of forms below. Students requesting an accommodation are also required to provide documentation that supports the existence of a current disability to the University. Generally, such documentation will need to include information from a qualified healthcare professional that: (1) provides a current diagnosis of the disability, (2) indicates information about the severity and longevity of the disability, and (3) may offer suggestions and/or recommendations for necessary and appropriate accommodation(s). For the purposes of this policy, "current" typically means within this last three years, although this timeframe is a guideline, which may be modified, depending on the circumstances, on a case-by-case basis. A "qualified healthcare professional" includes a licensed school psychologist, licensed psychologist, licensed rehabilitation counselor, speech and language pathologist, physician, or other appropriate medical/healthcare professional.

In order to facilitate the University's efforts to provide a requested academic accommodation students who request an accommodation may be required to complete the University approved "Verification of Disability" form that may be obtained from the Compliance Officer or via the list below. This form includes a limited release to be signed by the student, which will permit University officials to consult with the student's healthcare professional, for the purpose of clarifying a request for appropriate accommodation(s) in the academic setting. When requested, completed "Verification of Disability" forms must be returned to the University's Compliance Officer. Once the completed "Request for Accommodation" form (and when requested, the "Verification of Disability" form) is returned to the University Compliance Officer, it/they will be reviewed to ensure that: (1) the student is a qualified individual with a disability under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; and (2) they provides complete documentation. If necessary, the Compliance Officer will obtain knowledge about the disability or disabilities in question. Students will generally be contacted by the University's Compliance Officer within seven (7) school days about their eligibility determination status. Alternatively, the student may be requested to provide to the Compliance Officer supplemental information from his/her healthcare professional. If a student is determined to be a qualified student with a disability, he/she will meet with the University's Compliance Officer to discuss and determine the appropriate and reasonable academic adjustment(s), auxiliary aid(s) or service(s), or other reasonable accommodation(s). When an accommodation is approved, the Compliance Officer shall issue the student an "Accommodation Approval Letter." Thereafter, the student is responsible for informing his/her professor of the approved accommodation(s). The University cannot provide information about a student's disability to anyone without the student's consent and shall not be responsible for informing professors about a student's request and/or need for an accommodation. Students who intend to seek an academic accommodation are encouraged to notify their professors of such intent during their first week of classes in order to provide the faculty member ample notification to make arrangements for a proctor, separate room for testing, or other special accommodation. Unless circumstances make such notice unreasonable or not feasible, students are generally asked to provide a faculty member with at least seven (7) days' notice prior to the need for the accommodation. The University will make reasonable efforts to provide the accommodation in as timely a manner as possible. The University and its faculty and/or staff are not required to make any academic adjustment or accommodation that alters the integrity or essential components or technical standards of a course or program. If a faculty member believes that one or more of the requested accommodations will fundamentally alter the nature of the course or program, he/she should discuss the concern with the University's Section

504 Compliance Officer, who will determine if the expressed concern is valid. In such cases, the decision of the Compliance Officer is final, except that the student may avail himself or herself of the grievance procedure referenced below.

Resolution of Disagreements: In accordance with 34 C.F.R. 104.7, the University has adopted grievance procedures to provide for the resolution of student, faculty, and staff complaints/grievances alleging violations of Section 504/ADA. A copy of the grievance procedures (Faculty, Staff, & Visitor - Student) may be obtained from the Compliance Officer or via the forms listed below. Please refer to these procedures for further information. A designee of the Compliance Officer shall be responsible for the investigation of any complaints of discrimination based on disability, or any grievance, which may be filed pursuant to the University's adopted grievance procedures, and will attempt to resolve such complaints and/or grievances.

Publication: Notice of the University's policy on non-discrimination and access to equal educational opportunities shall be posted on the University's website and published in the University's general information handbooks.
