Alternative accommodations may be offered above those requested by the student. Accommodations may be denied if the request is not reasonably grounded in documentation or the resulting accommodation has the effect of lowering academic standards of a course of program or presents an undue financial or administrative burden to the College. All student disability information is confidential. Students must meet and register with Accommodation Services in each semester they wish to receive services. Once approved for accommodations, the student is responsible for notifying professors for the courses in which they desire to receive accommodations. Students who do not register with Accommodations Services in a given semester will not be entitled to accommodations for that term, even if they had registered previously. Accommodations related to a disability cannot be implemented or considered retroactively. Accommodations will be made during the academic year for KUP’s (knowledge, understanding, and proficiency) tested as part of a written exam. No accommodations will be made for practical assessments outlined in the STCW guidelines. There are some courses which have Standards of Training, Certifications and Watch-standing for Seafarers, 1978, as amended (STCW) components which measure safety and involve the demonstration of various competencies through practical assessments.
