Student Academic Accommodations and Accessibility Policy

General Terms
This Policy assumes that success in college or higher academic institutions is largely up to the students; thus, accommodations are not provided to change course syllabi or requirements for particular students, but only to provide support and reasonable modifications in the format of course materials for eligible students with the approval of the responsible faculty.

The 幼女视频 declares its adherence to the principles of accessibility of the physical environment, under which the university has undertaken key steps to make the 幼女视频 environment accessible for all groups of individuals without discrimination. The 幼女视频 campus, as well as its organizational culture, is meant to be accessible to all groups and individuals.

Eligibility for Services and General Procedure

If a student is enrolled in one or more courses at AUCA and has a disability that limits their access to the classroom or ability to fully engage with the class materials, affecting academic achievement, the student may be eligible for academic accommodations. If the student seeks academic accommodations or adjustments, they must contact and register with the Academic Advising Office as a student seeking accommodations. The Advising Office is the entity that coordinates the process for academic accommodations on campus.

The student (usually at the beginning of their freshman year) must initially complete an Accommodations Request and meet with an Academic Advising Office staff member. Eligibility is
based on information gathered during this initial meeting, past educational experiences and accommodations, and disability documentation. The documentation must be current, provide a clear diagnosis by an appropriate medical professional, and specify the functional limitations in an academic setting related to the disability. Prior to proceeding with the determination of the accommodations, the Academic Advising Office staff might request that the student provide additional documentation from providers, recommended by 幼女视频.

General eligibility criteria include, but are not limited to:

  • physical disability
  • neurological conditions,
  • sensory organ impairments,
  • musculoskeletal impairments,
  • emotional or mental health disorders,
  • respiratory conditions,
  • digestive ailments,
  • learning disabilities, and organic brain syndromes.

Documentation Guidelines

Students who request academic accommodations from 幼女视频 must provide diagnostic information regarding their disability. The information is useful in determining accommodations. We ask students to provide the most current documentation of their disability, which should include some or all of the following items:

  • A letter from a current or recent treatment provider that identifies the diagnosis and current
    treatment plan;
  • A psychological or neuropsychological evaluation if necessary, conducted by a professional psychiatrist or psychologist trained in diagnosis;
  • A letter from a school (guidance) counselor (for freshmen students) containing information on conducted psychological or educational assessment and (provisional) diagnoses

幼女视频 reserves the right to request reassessment or additional updated documentation when questions arise regarding previous assessment or previous service provisions. Reassessment can be requested by the Academic Advising Office representative during the initial meeting with the student when documents provided by the student are outdated, incomplete, or contain obvious mistakes or inconsistencies. AUCA and the Academic Advising Office have the right to recommend that a student see trusted providers who could complete or update the initial documentation. 幼女视频 declares no conflict of interest related to medical referrals and recommendations made to students requesting
accommodations.

Accommodations Committee

The Accommodations Committee will meet at the beginning of each semester, when necessary, to determine specific accommodations after a student has requested accommodations within the first month of the semester and upon having an initial consultation with the Academic Advising Office. The Accommodations Committee is an entity that is comprised of the following representatives on a case-by-case basis: Academic Advising Office representative or Head, Medical Office representative, and the faculty member teaching the course. The student seeking accommodations is expected to attend the meeting or a portion of the meeting. The student鈥檚 parents can attend the meeting with the Committee鈥檚 approval. Specialists of the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology (CTLT)may be included or consulted in order to assist faculty and students in modifying course content to meet a student鈥檚 particular needs. Counseling Service staff can be included or consulted if the counselor is familiar with the student鈥檚 difficulties. Also, the relevant academic Department Chair can be invited to the meeting if necessary.

Decision process and decision effectivity

The decision of whether or not to grant any accommodations is made solely by the Accommodations Committee. The list of accommodations granted in each case is approved only by the Committee. The approval of requested accommodations might be made over the course of more than one meeting of the Committee, based on the necessity to clarify the appropriateness of requested accommodations. All faculty and students are expected to respect the Committee鈥檚 judgment and final decision.

The members of the Committee are to keep the information on the students requesting accommodations strictly confidential. The Accommodations Committee has the right to refuse to provide specific accommodations if:

  • The request is not made within the timeline and procedures as specified in this handbook.
  • It constitutes a substantial change or alteration to an essential part of an academic program or course.
  • It poses a direct threat to the health and safety of others.
  • It poses undue financial hardship on the university.
  • The faculty member has not been duly notified.
  • The student requests that accommodations be applied to courses already taken and completed.
