Fundamental Alterations

Confidential

Provide Resources

EAS will provide training for students to use appropriate assistive technology and other accommodations.

The student’s registration with Educational Access Services, any student-shared disability details, and the fact that they receive accommodations is kept confidential.

What does support look like?

• A resource to applicable students that are struggling
• Protection for specifics of disability
• Protection for integrity of course
• Different from high school supports and unique to individual situations

An accommodation that fundamentally alters the nature of a course or the program curriculum may be considered unreasonable.

Students may request a proctored test in the EAS office to receive accommodations that cannot otherwise be received in the classroom.

Questions you can ask:

1. Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
2. What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?

Service Animals: is a dog or miniature horse individually trained to do work or perform specific tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability.
