Section 132A-350-040. Reasonable accommodations/academic adjustment for persons with disabilities.

Peninsula College shall provide to individuals qualifying with a disability an equal opportunity to access the benefits, rights, and privileges of college services, programs, activities, and employment in the most integrated setting appropriate to the individual's needs, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Americans with Disabilities Act Amendment Act (ADAAA) of 2008, the state of Washington laws against discrimination, and appropriate collective bargaining agreements. No individual shall, based on disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subject to discrimination in any program or activity.

In accordance with the ADAAA of 2008, persons with disabilities have the right to request and receive reasonable accommodations that:

(1) Are necessary to ensure that employment/academic requirements do not discriminate or have the effect of discriminating against a qualified individual with a disability based on that disability; and

(2) Do not impose an undue hardship on the college or require alteration of academic requirements demonstrated as essential to the program of instruction being pursued.

It shall be the obligation of the individual with a disability to request reasonable accommodation.
