Accommodation Services for Students
We help provide equal access and reasonable accommodations to students with disabilities attending Knox Technical Center.
REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION
Knox Technical Center is committed to providing an equal opportunity for all students, regardless of race, color, creed, disability, religion, gender, ancestry, age, national origin, or social or economic background, to learn through the curriculum offered. Reasonable accommodations are made for students with physical or mental limitations properly diagnosed by a qualified practitioner, unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the operation of the program and/or activities.
To be eligible for reasonable accommodation(s), the student must have:
1. A disability (as defined by applicable law) that substantially limits a major life activity and subsequently necessitates an accommodation;
2. Documentation from a qualified provider on file with KTC that supports the need for the requested accommodation;
3. Medical documentation that substantiates the disability, identifies the recommended accommodation(s), and how the accommodation(s) will assist the student.
Eligible students seeking reasonable accommodations are responsible for initiating contact with the Program Coordinator/Administrator prior to the start of the program to establish a plan.
Essential program outcomes, course objectives, and/or skill competency achievement standards cannot be substantially lowered, waived, or otherwise modified as accommodations. Any modifications in the manner in which a course, lab, and/or clinical is conducted are restricted to changes in the format of instruction or evaluation. Such modifications must not substantially lower the essential academic standards or modify basic content of the course, lab, and/or clinical. No accommodations may be made before the request is approved by the Program Coordinator/Administrator.
