POLICY ON ACCOMMODATION OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL AND LIFE SCIENCES
Policy:
The College of Agricultural and Life Sciences adopts, by reference, the "UW Madison Faculty Policy on Access and Accommodation in Instruction," Faculty Document 1071, adopted by the UW-Madison Faculty Senate on May 2, 1994.
Implementation:
-
Implementation is a shared responsibility of faculty and students.
-
Students must inform faculty in a timely manner of their need for an accommodation based on a disability.
-
Faculty, either directly or in cooperation with the McBurney Center, are expected to work with students to identify and provide a reasonable accommodation, following the principles identified in the Faculty Senate Policy.
-
If the students and the faculty member cannot agree on a reasonable accommodation, the department's designated Access and Accommodation Resource Coordinator (as identified under the Faculty Senate policy) will try to resolve the disagreement.
-
If the disagreement is not resolved within the department, the student can appeal to the College by submitting a letter to the Associate Dean for Academic Student Affairs. The Associate Dean will refer the matter to the Committee on Scholastic Policies and Actions for advice.
-
The student can appeal the decision of the College to the campus committee designated to hear appeals under the Faculty Senate Policy on Access and Accommodation in Instruction.
Scope:
This policy applies to all courses and other academic activities and requirements in the College.
Adopted: April 10, 1996
