Dear Crush Faculty,. Thank you for your commitment to students with disabilities. Our goal is to assist you in understanding your role and responsibilities when providing academic accommodations and accessibility in your courses e. We believe, that through collaboration and awareness, students with disabilities can be provided with an equitable educational opportunity at CCC.
We strive to do this by building relationships between students, faculty, and staff that foster equity and inclusivity through accessibility awareness. We empower self-advocacy and independence that motivates students to pursue academic excellence.
Disclaimer - The Americans with Disabilities Act ADA and Section of The Rehabilitation Act of require institutional compliance when providing an equal opportunity for students with disabilities to participate in educational offerings. Since there are numerous disabilities, and no two students are alike i. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach when providing academic auxiliary aids and adjustments, otherwise known as academic accommodations.
This handbook will highlight the most common accommodations, but please do not regard this handbook as an official legal document. This is a guidance and best practices handbook. Access for individuals with disabilities is a campus-wide responsibility shared by all faculty, staff, and administration. It is the responsibility of the college to educate and inform faculty, staff, and administrators of their role in delivering and providing accessible instructional resources to students.
Together we can accommodate students, allowing them to achieve their full academic potential. Over the years, instructors have asked what constitutes a reasonable accommodation , fundamental alteration , and a timely manner in regard to academic adjustments and auxiliary aids.
