住宿

Clarkson College is committed to providing equal access to educational opportunities to otherwise qualified persons with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (as amended, 2008) defines a person with a disability as any individual who: 1) has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, 2) has a record of such an impairment, or 3) is perceived by others as having such an impairment. In this commitment, the College will provide reasonable accommodations to otherwise qualified individuals provided these accommodations do not: 1) fundamentally alter the nature or operation of the programs, 服务, or activities at the College, 2) cause undue burden to the College, or 3) pose a direct threat to the health and safety of others.

Procedure for Students Seeking 住宿

The student must initiate the process of requesting accommodations by contacting the 住宿 Coordinator via 电子邮件 or phone at 402.552.6285. The 住宿 Coordinator will respond within two business days informing the student of the next steps. The student will receive a “Student Release Form” to complete and return to accommodations@wolaipei.com. By law, the student will also need a physician’s note specifying the requested accommodations. This paperwork must be sent directly to the accommodation’s coordinator from the physician 办公室.

If a student does not have any documentation, the student is still encouraged to contact the 住宿 Coordinator. The 住宿 Coordinator will then determine what documentation, if any, is needed. Documentation is seen as a bridge between the student’s self-report and the 住宿 Coordinator’s judgment. When there is a gap in understanding, documentation is often needed to determine reasonable accommodations. Reasonable accommodations depend upon the nature and degree of severity of the disability. While the ADA requires that priority consideration be given to the specific methods/accommodations requested by the student, it does not imply that a particular accommodation must be granted if it is deemed not reasonable and other suitable techniques are available.

实现

Once adequate documentation is received, the 住宿 Coordinator will determine eligibility for accommodations, and if eligible, what accommodations are approved. This will be communicated to the student, and if accommodations are approved, the student will receive a Statement of Eligibility (SOE) documenting his/her approved accommodations.The 住宿 Coordinator will send a copy of the approved Statement of Eligibility (SOE) to the student, program director, and if applicable the 测试中心 Coordinator. As of Fall 2022, it is the student’s responsibility to share proof of the approved accommodations to their faculty. Concurrently, the student is strongly encouraged to initiate communication with his/her faculty. If the student has been deemed ineligible for accommodations, the student may appeal this decision by contacting the 住宿 Coordinator who, 反过来, will forward this appeal request to the 住宿 Committee.

If the student needs any changes in accommodations or wants to discontinue accommodations, he/she must contact the 住宿 Coordinator immediately via 电子邮件 or by phone at 402.552.6285.
