How are accommodations determined for a student with a disability?
Reasonable accommodations are determined on an individual basis after considering the specific disability and documentation of functional limitations in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. See the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) at www.ahead.org for more information regarding documentation guidelines. Accommodations are designed to provide an equal educational opportunity, not to give the student a competitive edge.
