POLICY STATEMENT
This policy describes the process through which students who believe Nevada State College is not reasonably accommodating a disability may file a formal grievance.
DEFINITIONS
See DRC 1: Disability Resource Center Definitions for all relevant definitions as they apply to DRC policies.
PROCEDURES
I. Right to Grieve
A student may engage in the grievance process if the student believes the DRC is not reasonably accommodating a disability. A student may also file a grievance based on a belief that there has been discrimination due to the student’s disability, whether in class, at a college event, or in any other activity associated with Nevada State College.
II. Filing a Grievance at Nevada State College
A student wishing to file a grievance related to disability services must contact the Nevada State College ADA/504 Coordinator.
III. External Grievance Process
If a student believes that there has been discrimination and/or that Nevada State College has failed to remediate the issue, the student may, at any time, file a complaint with the federal Office of Civil Rights (OCR). The student may contact OCR at https://www.hhs.gov/ocr/index.html
