A student may request a program modification if he/she can document a disability that directly impairs her/his ability to meet the normal requirements of the program. Such documentation must be provided by qualified professionals in the area of the specific disability. These professionals must describe the specific disability in behavioral terms in relation to the specific modification sought by the student. Guidance regarding the type of information required to document specific disabilities will be provided to the student by the coordinator of Disability Services.

The Section 504/ADA Compliance Review Committee will consider requests to modify programs of study. The committee will monitor the University’s compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973/ADA and review the programs, policies and facilities at 色虎视频 to determine accessibility to or discrimination against persons with disabilities as defined in Section 504/ADA requirements. The committee is charged with the following functions:

1. to recommend modifications in facilities and programs to ensure full participation by students with disabilities;
2. to promote an awareness in the campus community of the services provided to students with disabilities; and
3. to review and make recommendations for modifications in academic requirements to assure full educational opportunity for students with disabilities.

A student must request modification in a program early enough to allow the request to be processed and for arrangements to be made for the student to complete the recommended substitution or modification. The committee meets three (3) times a year, if needed, during the first week of March, July and November, to hear requests for modifications in programs. The committee will respond to requests within three (3) weeks of the date it meets. Requests for program modifications must be submitted to the Coordinator for Disability Services a minimum of twenty (20) working days before the committee is scheduled to meet.

In some cases, a student with a disability may be required by the committee to demonstrate an effort to satisfactorily complete a course (e.g., attend classes, take examinations, write papers) before a program modification will be considered.

The committee can act upon requests for program modifications in one (1) of the following ways:

1. recommend to the VPAA approval of a specific substitution/modification of the student’s program of study;

2. recommend to the VPAA denial of the student’s request for one (1) of the following reasons:

1. the student has not provided appropriate documentation of the disability;
2. the requirement(s) under consideration is (are) essential to the program of study as determined by consultation with the department/college through which the student is matriculating; or

3. request additional information to enable further consideration of the request.

An appeal of the VPAA’s decision must be made through the Office of the President.
