In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the accommodations made for the benefit of students with disabilities must, at all times, be "reasonable." A "reasonable accommodation" is one that enables the prospects for success on the part of the student with disabilities under the following circumstances:

• The student has the ability to benefit from the accommodation.
• The accommodation will not "fundamentally alter" the program in terms of its educational standards and expectations.
• The accommodation will not result in undue instruction, financial, or administrative burdens on other students or on the College as a whole.

Lake Michigan College expects students with disabilities to benefit from instruction, complete class assignments, take exams, and achieve success along with their classmates. It is with these goals in mind that the College provides services and makes "reasonable accommodations."
