A reasonable academic adjustment is an academic modification or adjustment that minimizes or eliminates the impact of a disability, allowing the individual to gain equal access and have an equal opportunity to participate in the University's courses, 项目, 服务, 活动, and facilities. A reasonable academic adjustment is one that does not require a substantial change in the curriculum or alteration of any essential elements or functions of the course, 程序, 服务, 或活动. Academic adjustments, 辅助艾滋病, and/or 服务 are determined on a case-by-case basis and course–by-course basis.
Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 可访问性 Act (ADAAA) of 2008 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 dictate that an institution must make reasonable academic adjustments and provide 辅助艾滋病 and/or 服务 for those individuals with a qualified disability who self identify. To determine reasonable adjustments, 辅助艾滋病 and/or 服务, OSDR will seek current documentation of the student’s disorder/impairment, as well as information from appropriate University personnel regarding essential standards for courses, 项目, 服务, 活动, 和设施.
