ºìÐÓÊÓƵ OHS is committed to improving web accessibility for our students and their parents. While not required by law, the Levels A and AA provide helpful recommendations to make web content more accessible. ºìÐÓÊÓƵ strives to apply WCAG 2.0 recommendations.
ºìÐÓÊÓƵ OHS is also committed to providing a learning atmosphere which reasonably accommodates persons with disabilities who are otherwise qualified to participate in ºìÐÓÊÓƵ OHS programs and activities. It is the policy of ºìÐÓÊÓƵ to prohibit unlawful discrimination against persons with disabilities and to provide reasonable assistance in bringing them into the mainstream of campus life. To accomplish this, ºìÐÓÊÓƵ complies with all applicable disability laws.ÌýÌý
ºìÐÓÊÓƵ ºìÐÓÊÓƵ Online Learning programs differ in some ways from other university programs, so accommodations given to students of ºìÐÓÊÓƵ Online ºìÐÓÊÓƵ Learning programs may differ from accommodations given for learning in Brigham Young University main campus classes or other schools.
IEP, 504, and similar plansÌý
Public funding is not available to ºìÐÓÊÓƵ OHS to generate IEP and 504 Accommodations Plans, but we hope families will share IEP and 504 plan information with our team. Accommodations given for learning in ºìÐÓÊÓƵ OHS programs may differ from accommodations listed in a student’s existing IEP or 504, but IEP and 504 plan information is highly valued because it can be very helpful to our interactive process with students and parents as we determine appropriate accommodations. We hope you will obtain an IEP, 504 Accommodations Plan, and/or other helpful documentation from the public school the student is zoned to attend.Ìý
Other documentationÌý
Usually, the more documentation families share to inform the interactive process, the better prepared our team can be to determine and implement appropriate accommodations in the best possible way.ÌýÌý
Please submit the with supporting documentation of the accommodation need from a qualified healthcare professional or educational institution (which may include an IEP or 504 Accommodations Plan from the public school where the student is zoned to attend). Requests for accommodations must be specific. Submitted documentation must be current within the last three years.Ìý
An accommodation request should be submitted and approved before the student begins work in each course. We strive to complete our interactive process with you regarding accommodation requests within three weeks, but some may take longer. Therefore, please submit accommodation requests as soon as possible.Ìý
