Academic Adjustments

A recipient institution must make certain adjustments to its academic requirements and practices if these discriminate or have the effect of discriminating against a student because of that student’s disability [34 CFR 104.44(a)].

Recipient postsecondary institutions may not impose rules that have the effect of limiting the participation of students with disabilities in the education program [34 CFR 104.44(b)].

Course examinations or other evaluation procedures are administered to qualified students who have disabilities that impair their sensory, manual, or speaking skills in such a manner that the results of the evaluation represent the student’s achievement in the course [34 CFR 104.44 (c)].

A recipient institution must ensure that no student with a disability is subject to discrimination in the recipient's program because of the absence of necessary auxiliary education aids [34 CFR 104.44(d)].
