Maricopa County Community College District Common Policies | CGCC Catalog & Student Handbook 2019-2020 1 1 7 Pending Governing Board Approval, 8/27/19. For the most current information regarding common policies, log on to https://district.maricopa.edu/stewardship/maricopa-governance/common-pages/student-regulations If a student is not satisfied with the academic adjustment provided, he or she may file a complaint under the Discrimination Complaint Procedures for Students. In such cases, the Vice President for Student Affairs will assign an investigator whose qualifications and experience include curriculum development and educational accommodations for students with disabilities. In all cases in which academic adjustments are in controversy, whether as a student discrimination complaint or a faculty member's appeal to the Chief Academic Officer, the ultimate decision will be informed by consultation with the duly appointed faculty representatives who serve in the development of the curriculum for the institution and the program. The committee will study the requested academic adjustment and alternatives, their feasibility, cost and effect on the academic program, and come to a rationally justifiable conclusion as to whether the available alternatives would result either in lowering academic standards or requiring substantial program alteration. This conclusion will be submitted in writing to the Chief Academic Officer, who will consult with the Vice Chancellor and the Office of General Counsel before making the final determination. Nothing in this policy prohibits a faculty member from making minor, commonsense alterations in the manner in which a course is presented. A student who asks the instructor to change the color of chalk used because he is colorblind may be so accommodated without registering with DSO. However, the faculty member must report making such accommodations to DSO. Documentation Guidelines Students requesting accommodations must provide documentation of their disability. Documentation consists of an evaluation prepared by a trained and qualified professional that identifies: • current level of functioning • current documentation • all standardized testing must use adult-normed instruments • age of the documentation may vary for some disabilities, provided the presence of a substantial limitation(s) is adequately established • how the disability impacts the student's learning • contain information supportive of the student's request for specific academic support, auxiliary aids, and accommodations Specific Eligibility Requirements 1.
