Americans with Disabilities Act

ADA/504 Policy Statement

SAU Tech is committed to a policy of ensuring that no otherwise qualified individual with a disability is excluded from participation in, denied benefits of, or subjected to discrimination in University programs or activities due to his or her disability. The College is fully committed to complying with all requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and as amended in 2008 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and to providing equal educational opportunities to otherwise qualified students with disabilities.

ADA/504 Grievance Procedures

Any qualified student with a disability who has a complaint about the way faculty or staff have responded to his/her accommodation requests should contact the Disability Services/ADA Coordinator. Complaints should be made in writing to the Coordinator of Disability Services within 30 calendar days of the incident. Should the complaint be against the Coordinator of Disability Services/ADA Coordinator, then the complaint should be made in writing to one of the Title IX compliance officers. The coordinator or compliance officer will assist the student in attempting to resolve the complaint and may engage all parties involved in the concern.

The Coordinator/Compliance Officer will notify the student by letter within 15 calendar days of the resolution to the complaint. For complaints not resolved by this approach, the student should follow the formal grievance procedures set in place in the student handbook.
