Accomodations for Participants with DisabilitiesAccommodations for Students with DisabilitiesThe purpose of this policy is to ensure that events planned by student organizations in the Student Activities and Leadership Programs are as accessible as possible and are, at minimum, following Federal Americans with Disability Act standards. This is a SALP policy written in collaboration with the Disability Resource Center. - Posters and flyers must include the following statement: "For ADA accommodations, please call (Group's Contact #) or email (Group's Email).
- It is prohibited to discriminate on the basis of disability when hosting programs, events or meetings. Student leaders contacted for accommodations should work with their SALP Advisor as soon as possible to facilitate services through the Disability Resource Center.
- Every attempt should be made to grant reasonable accommodations as recommended by the DRC. However, requests made to the Disability Resource Center less than two weeks before the event may not be able to be accommodated. Accommodations are reasonable as long as course standards are not fundamentally altered and there is a logical link between the student' limitations and the accommodation.
- Costs associated with an accommodation will be accrued by the student organization sponsoring the event.
- You must permit attendees to use auxiliary aids and technology that ensure access. Depending on the disability, people may use notetakers, sign language interpreters, realtime captioners, readers, scribes, and lab assistants. Others may use tape recorder/players, computers, assistive listening devices and other technologies for the same purpose.
- Treat disability-related information with the strictest confidentiality. Refrain from identifying people with disabilities unnecessarily to their peers or other colleagues without their consent.
