Indiana State University is committed to enabling students and employees with disabilities to participate in and benefit from University programs and activities by providing reasonable accommodations, academic adjustments and modifications to policy or procedures unless the modification would fundamentally alter the nature of a University program or activity. These accommodations, adjustments and modifications shall be made in a timely manner and on an individualized and flexible basis, and shall be the result of interactive dialogue between the requesting individual and designated representative of the University.
Indiana State University is committed to providing a campus environment free of both physical barriers and barriers of attitude.
Indiana State University is committed to maintaining websites accessible to individuals with disabilities.
921.2 Requesting an Accommodation
It is the responsibility of individual students, staff and faculty to identify themselves as an individual with a disability when seeking an accommodation, adjustment or modification. It is also the responsibility of individual students, staff and faculty to document their disability from an appropriate licensed professional, and to demonstrate how the disability limits their ability to complete the essential functions of their job or limits participation in programs or services of the University. Medical documentation will be kept confidential consistent with legal requirements and ISU policy.
