ADA Accommodation

The Board of Trustees of the Foothill-De Anza Community College District upholds that, for persons with disabilities, improving access to educational and employment opportunities must be a priority. 

The board has directed the administration to take the necessary actions to implement the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

De Anza College and the Foothill-De Anza district shall not discriminate against a qualified individual with a disability because of the disability, with regard to employment or the provision of district programs, services and activities.

A person who is otherwise qualified may request accommodation related to their disability, provided the accommodation does not impose an undue hardship on the district. The procedures for requesting accommodation are available from the Disability Support Programs and Services office, the office of the ADA coordinator and the district Human Resources office.

In accordance with State and Federal law and 5 California Code of Regulations, Section 56027, the academic rules, policies and practices of the Foothill De-Anza Community College District may be modified as necessary in order to ensure that they do not discriminate, or have the effect of discriminating on the basis of handicap, against qualified students or persons with disabilities. 

Students with disabilities have the right to receive reasonable academic accommodations involving academic adjustments in order to create an educational environment where they have equal access to instruction and programs without altering the fundamental nature of any course, educational program or degree.
