Is it essential to provide the requested accommodations?
Faculty and other teaching staff have a legal responsibility to provide reasonable and appropriate accommodations for qualified students with disabilities and it is prudent to consider accommodating the student in the manner requested. However, there may be elements of the course work that make the requested accommodation difficult to fulfill. In this case contact the Case Coordinator at Disability Concerns to discuss effective alternatives. NOTE: The laws that protect the rights of individuals with disabilities also protect the standards of the attending institutions. Having a disability does not preclude a student from meeting the essential course elements or from following the established policies and procedures.
