REQUESTS FOR DISABILITY-RELATED ACCOMMODATIONS
Bismarck State College is committed to making reasonable accommodations in its residence life program to accommodate the needs of persons with a condition (i.e., a disability or a medical/mental health condition) that substantially limits a major life activity. To evaluate requests for accommodation, BSC has established a formal process consistent with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). As part of this process, the student is responsible to furnish appropriate documentation from a qualified provider (medical or mental health) to verify the student's condition as well as the need for the accommodation that is being requested.
The student is advised that providing information from a medical or mental health provider does not guarantee the college will make the accommodation the student has requested. Under ADA, the college has the right to evaluate all requests for accommodations and make its own determination about whether the requested accommodation is "reasonable" and if the information furnished by the student's medical or mental health providers adequately demonstrates the need for the accommodation requested. In making these determinations, the college relies on the expertise of its own personnel and consultants, and draws from best practices from other colleges and universities. After evaluation requests for accommodations the college may elect to:
1. Make the accommodation as requested.
2. Offer alternative accommodations it considers to be reasonable based on the information available.
3. Deny any request it determines to be inadequately verified or otherwise not "reasonable."
Please allow a minimum of 60 days from the time the request for an accommodation is submitted until the time the requested accommodation is needed. A request for accommodation will not be considered complete until all required supporting documentation is received from the student's medical providers.
