Reasonable Accommodation Request Information

(ACCD Policy DAA & DBB)

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and the policies of the Alamo Community College District (ACCD), employees will follow the Request for ADA Accommodation procedure when requesting reasonable accommodation to perform the essential functions of the job.  It is the responsibility of the individual employee to request a reasonable accommodation under the ADA.

In all instances, an individual must initiate an accommodation request under the ADA by contacting the Department of Human Resources and by following the ACCD procedures for an accommodation request under the ADA.  Upon review of the required documentation and medical certification, a request for accommodation will be approved or denied and the individual will be notified in writing of the determination of the request.

If it is determined that the individual is a qualified disabled person, then ACCD will make a determination whether the requested accommodation to the workplace is reasonable.  A reasonable accommodation must not place undue hardship or administrative burden or require fundamental alternations to the essential functions of the job.
