Course Substitution
The following procedures are used for a student with a documented learning disability when seeking a modification of the quantitative reasoning or foreign language requirement:
- The student must present documentation of a disability to the Office of Student Success at her/his own expense.
- If the documentation clearly indicates a disability that warrants a course substitution, a letter is sent from the Director of Disability Services and ADA Coordinator to the academic dean of the student's college, advisor, Registrar, and student. The letter includes possible substitution recommendations.
- The academic dean approves or rejects the request and contacts the student, advisor, Director of Disability Services and ADA Coordinator, and Registrar.
- If approved the student must meet with her/his advisor to discuss an appropriate substitution.
- Appropriate math substitutions are dictated by requirement of the discipline.
- Requests for a course substitution may be rejected if it is determined that a substitution will substantially alter the curriculum.
