Reasonable Accommodation Requests
Signature Healthcare will provide reasonable accommodation, modifications, or academic adjustments to the known limitations of an otherwise qualified student with a disability. It is the responsibility of the student with a disability to inform Signature Healthcare they need an accommodation, modification, or academic adjustment. Students who believe they are entitled to a reasonable accommodation, modification, or academic adjustment must contact the Admissions Office at: 515-252-0000. Students must provide reliable documentation from appropriate licensed professionals and/or educational information about the student’s education and accommodation history to support their request. Any cost of obtaining documentation is the responsibility of the student. If the initial documentation is incomplete or inadequate and an interview of the student interview does not provide the necessary information, Signature Healthcare has the discretion to request additional information necessary to make an educated decision as to whether the student is entitled to an accommodation, modification, or academic adjustment.
Determination of Need and Reasonableness of Requested Accommodation
Accommodations, modifications, or academic adjustments will be granted to students who demonstrate a disability-based need for the accommodation, modification, or academic adjustment to enable the student to have an equal opportunity to attain the same level of performance or to enjoy equal benefits and privileges as are available to similarly situated individuals without a disability. Evaluation of performance, course examinations and other measures of achievement, will be provided with appropriate reasonable accommodations or modifications to ensure that the evaluation represents achievement rather than reflecting the impact of disability. Signature Healthcare is not required to provide accommodation, modification, or academic adjustment if it would result in undue hardship or fundamentally alter any program, policy, or service provided by Signature Healthcare.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Signature Healthcare expects students attending a training course to pursue their training in a serious and professional manner. Students should attempt to obtain maximum benefit from all instructional opportunities and clinical experiences.
