Academic adjustments, auxiliary aids and services, and program modifications will be provided to afford equal access for qualified students with documented disabilities in compliance with state and federal laws. For each student, these accommodations will address those functional limitations of the disability which adversely affect equal educational opportunity. South Puget Sound Community College has established the Access Services (AS), within Student Services, to assist qualified students with disabilities in securing appropriate academic adjustments, auxiliary aids and services, and modifications.
To receive academic adjustments, auxiliary aids and services, or modifications, students are responsible for (i) providing appropriate documentation regarding the nature and extent of their current disability, or the nature and extent of their functional limitations supporting their need for requested adjustments, aids/services, or modifications based on disability, and (ii) requesting academic adjustments, auxiliary aids and services, and/or modifications in a timely manner.
The College will make those modifications to its programs and services that (1) are necessary in the College’s determination to mitigate disability or the effect of discrimination against a qualified student with a disability; (2) do not impose an undue burden on the College as determined by the College; or (3) do not require a fundamental alteration of essential course, program or academic requirements as determined by the College.
