Accommodation Grievance Procedure

Informal Complaint Procedure

Endicott College reviews all requests for appropriate and reasonable academic accommodations to students with disabilities. Decisions concerning requests for accommodations follow federal requirements and are based upon the following analysis:

  • Does the student have a documented disability?
  • Is the student "otherwise qualified?" (can s/he meet the academic requirements of the College with or without an accommodation)
  • Is the request reasonable? (The following requirements must ALL be satisfied for the request to be considered reasonable):
    • The accommodation does not fundamentally alter the nature of the College’s academic objectives or technical standards.
    • The accommodation does not present an undue financial or administrative burden on the College.
    • The accommodation does not pose a threat to the safety of others or the public.

At times, the College may deny a requested accommodation based on a lack of supportive documentation, the impact of undue hardship, the risk to the health and safety of our community members, or concerns that the requested accommodation would fundamentally alter the nature of the College’s academic objectives and technical standards.

In these instances, if a student disagrees with the decision made by the Center for Accessibility Services, the Associate Dean of the Center for Teaching and Learning will review the student’s statement, all relevant information, and documents, and consult with necessary parties to find an appropriate resolution or make a final determination.
