Disability Accommodation Policy
OPSU will reasonably accommodate otherwise qualified individuals with disabilities unless such accommodation poses an undue hardship, resulting in a fundamental alteration in the nature of the service, program, or activity or an undue financial or administrative burden.
The term “reasonable accommodation” is used in its general sense in this policy to apply to students. Any student requests for reasonable accommodation (e.g., learning disability) or for physical accommodations (e.g., mobility, vision, and hearing) are to be addressed in writing to the Disability Coordinator in the Academic Resource Center.
The student must request the accommodations from the Disability Coordinator and provide them with appropriate documentation to substantiate the disability claim. After an appropriate evaluation/intake interview by the Disability Coordinator, the Academic Resource Center approves reasonable accommodation for the student (i.e., ADHD/ADD, extended time on tests/quizzes, testing in a separate room, leniency with late class assignments). The Disability Coordinator will then record the approved accommodations in an email to faculty as requested by the student. All documentation (i.e., IEP, 504, Psychoeducational ASsessments, Medical) is confidential; therefore, any information pertaining to a student can be released at the student’s request.
Individuals who have complaints alleging discrimination based on disability may file those complaints with the University’s Affirmative Action Officer (Vice President of Academic Affairs, Sewell-Loofbourrow) in accordance with prevailing University discrimination grievance procedures.
