DISABILITIES ACCOMMODATIONS InterCoast is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for all persons with disabilities. Accommodations are provided on an individualized, as -needed basis, determined through appropriate documentation of need. At each location, the Campus President is designated as the College's Section 504 Coordinator and is responsible for developing an Accommodations Plan for all students who have requested accommodations and are determined to be eligible for accommodations. All discussions with the student will remain confidential. Accommodations are not provided retroactively so it is required that prospective students discuss needs upon enrollment into the program or as early on in the training as possible. In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), InterCoast Colleges does not exclude handicapped individuals from participation in the programs offered by the college, solely by reason of the handicap. All students must meet all admissions requirements and have the ability to work in the field, based on the job duties for which the student is trained. A student is eligible for consideration for accommodations and/or auxiliary aids and services if the student has a documented disability and the Campus President has consulted with the student and determined that the functional limitations of the disability require such accommodation, auxiliary aids and/or services. InterCoast is committed to providing reasonable accommodations including auxiliary aids and/or services to qualified individuals with a disability, unless providing such accommodations would result in undue burden to the institution or fundamentally alter the nature of the relevant program, benefit,or service provided by the institution, taking into account the job requirements of the field of study and/or potential barriers to graduate employment. To request auxiliary aid or service, prospective students should contact the Campus President and provide supporting documentation as soon as practical. The Campus President will render a decision within 10 days. Individuals disagreeing with the approved reasonable accommodation may appeal the decision to the President/CEO of InterCoast Colleges. If there are questions regarding the policy on Disabilities Accommodations, please contact the President/CEO (818) 402- 5207.
