Subject: Policy for the Provision of Accommodations and Support Services to Students with Disabilities

Attached is a copy of the revised Policy for the Provision of Accommodations and Support Services to Students with Disabilities. This policy is effective May 28, 2014 and supersedes coded memorandum AA-2009-27.

The Policy for Provision of Accommodations and Support Services to Students with Disabilities was drafted by the Systemwide Advisory Committee for Services to Students with Disabilities and represents more than two years of discussion, consultation, and analyses with CSU vice presidents of student affairs, provosts/vice presidents of academic affairs, directors of services to students with disabilities programs, the Academic Senate of the CSU, and the California State Student Association. The Office of General Counsel also provided input and advice during the revision process. The attached policy will result in enhanced and increasingly consistent levels of service to students with disabilities on all CSU campuses.

Questions about the policy may be directed to Mr. Ray Murillo, Director of Student Programs, Academic Affairs, Student Academic Support, at rmurillo@calstate.edu or (562) 951-4707, or Dr. Sabrina Sanders, Assistant Director of Student Programs, Academic Affairs, Student Academic Support, at ssanders@calstate.edu or (562) 951-4693.
