Reviewing Your Accommodation Request
If a reasonable basis exists to believe there is a legitimate Fundamental Alteration Question, the Fundamental Alteration and Accommodation Subcommittee of the Student Accessibility Services Advisory Committee will convene to review the accommodation request.
The Fundamental Alteration and Accommodation Subcommittee will include objective persons who collectively are knowledgeable about the academic area, any related licensing requirements, any applicable accreditation for the course of study, the student’s disability, and accommodation methods. The committee will not be limited exclusively to individuals from the department that provides the course or program.
The core Fundamental Alteration and Accommodation Subcommittee includes the following individuals:
- Associate Provost for Academic Affairs
- Director of Student Accessibility Services,
- A WNE faculty member
- A Member of the WNE OIT team
- A student member of the Student Accessibility Services Advisory Committee.
Additional WNE-knowledgeable community members will be engaged on an as-needed basis based on area of expertise. The subcommittee will identify the objective of the requirement(s) of the course, taking into consideration the information provided by the instructor, program, or department concerning essential requirements, including curriculum approval or course creation documents.
