Grievance Procedure For Students with Disabilities
OC has adopted an internal grievance procedure providing for the equitable
resolution, within a reasonable time, of complaints by students with disabilities
alleging violations of their rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. All requests for
access, accommodation, and academic adjustment should first be brought to the
Office of Access Services (AS). If a student believes that a faculty member, an
office or a program has refused to provide an accommodation in accordance
with notice from Access Services, a student should first request the assistance
of the AS Director in resolving the complaint. If the complaint cannot be
resolved in this manner, or if it involves the Access Services Office, a student
has the right to appeal with the following procedure:
Submit a written appeal to HRS, which should include:
•
The nature of the disability, with an explanation of its current impact
and functional limitations in the academic setting;
•
Details of the reasonable accommodation being requested; and
•
A description of any/all accommodations provided or offered by the
college and an explanation of why these accommodations are
insufficient or ineffective.

grievance procedure, contact Access Services at:
