The university shall ensure that individuals with disabilities have communication access that is equally effective as that provided to people without disabilities.

The university will provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services, whenever necessary, to ensure effective communication with individuals who have hearing, vision, or speech impairments, unless to do so would result in a fundamental alteration of its programs or an undue administrative or financial burden. Auxiliary aids and services include a wide variety of equipment, materials, and personal services. The university will not assess a surcharge to cover the reasonable cost of providing auxiliary aids or services, or any reasonable modifications to policies or procedures.

Students who require communication-related auxiliary aids or services to participate in a university program or activity should contact the sponsoring academic program, school, college, department, or office as far in advance as reasonably possible before the scheduled program or activity.
