This policy was reviewed as part of the standard 6-year review process. The policy was updated to add additional clarity to the definition of “Person with a disability.” Additional details were also added to the Student Responsibilities, Notifications, and Faculty Responsibilities sections. The grievance procedures were removed from this policy and placed into its own document. Ownership of this document was changed to VP for Finance and Administration from VP for IDEA.
