Faculty, if you have questions or if an accommodation/request does not feel reasonable:
An accommodation is meant to provide equity. If you, as a faculty member, have concerns that an accommodation is not reasonable or it would alter the technical/academic requirements of your course, please contact our SA&A office at accessibility@stkate.edu. We assess reasonability by cross-examining multiple factors, including access barriers, and the learning objectives and fundamentals of the course.
Student Rights
Student Rights
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990): Students with disabilities have the right to reasonable accommodation in the academic setting.
Reasonableness is determined by a multitude of factors, including but not limited to: meeting course learning objectives, administrative time, and ensuring access to applicable course materials.
Ableism: discrimination in favor of able-bodied or minded people. This is not always outright apparent, and sometimes is shown by someone being pitied for their disability, or viewed as a hero for existing with a disability.
Privacy, Grievance and Conduct Policy
Privacy, Grievance and Conduct Policy
Your disability is private, the SA&A office is the only space on campus that you must disclose to in order to receive accommodations. This means that your accommodations will not disclose this information, nor are you required to disclose to faculty or staff outside of the SA&A office.
If a student feels that their accommodations are not being upheld by their instructor(s) or are otherwise being compromised their first step is to get in touch with the SA&A office. Our staff take each situation seriously and on a case by case manner. Our staff will ask to meet with you in order to gather further information and support the appropriate next steps. This may include, but is not limited to:
Supporting the further understanding of accommodations to either the faculty or student.
Supporting the faculty member in how to implement approved accommodations through email, phone, or consultation.
Referring students to other policies and procedures that the university has to offer, such as a formal grievance.

The purpose of this is to provide students with an efficient avenue to report concerns and incidents that may arise regarding Title IX, acts of bias, discrimination or bullying, conduct violation, concern for others or oneself, and/or academic grievances.
All students, including students with disabilities, are subject to the St. Catherine University Code of Conduct.
