Definitions
An otherwise qualified person with a disability is:
an individual who, with the aid of a reasonable accommodation, can fulfill the academic and technical standards requisite to admission and participation in ACC's educational courses or programs.
A reasonable accommodation is:
any change in an educational environment that effectively and appropriately enables an individual with a disability to have equal educational opportunities. Examples include:

• Making existing facilities and programs used by students readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.
• Relocating classes, developing alternative testing procedures, providing educational auxiliary aids, readers or interpreters.

An accommodation is NOT reasonable if it:

• Poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others, or
• Requires a substantial change to an essential element of course curriculum or a substantial alteration in the manner in which services are offered or provided for non-disabled students, or
• Poses an undue financial or administrative burden.
