  2. Process for Requesting Academic Accommodations Academic accommodations are determined through: • An interactive exchange in which the student describes their disability, barriers and history of effective and ineffective academic accommodations. • Observation by DRS staff of the students’ language, performance and academic strategies as a tool in validating the student narrative and self-report. • Review of medical documentation from qualified DRS professional. • Student requests for academic accommodations without an Instructor Notification Form must be referred to DRS for evaluation.

  3. Determination of Academic Accommodations Seven Rules: A Framework for Reviewing and Determining Accommodations • Does providing the accommodation result in modifications of educational standards (academic integrity) of the college’s course or program? • Does providing the accommodation fundamentally alter the nature of the course, program, activity or service? • Does providing the accommodation provide services to a student or individual not otherwise qualified?
