Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3342 - Kent State University › Chapter 3342-3 - Administrative Policies Regarding Academic Requirements › Section 3342-3-01.11 - Administrative policy regarding disqualification of studnets from programs for other than academic reasons

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								Purpose. In
			 certain programs of study, students may not be effective in their chosen area
			 because of factors other than academic qualifications, such as personality.
			 Such programs are often designed to train students to perform guidance roles
			 upon completion of their educational requirements. In such cases, a student's
			 personality may be detrimental to his or her effective functioning in his or
			 her chosen area. The university reserves the right to dismiss a student in
			 those programs concerned before completion of his or her graduation
			 requirements for professional and/or educational reasons.
(B)
								Definitions. The
			 definitions employed in the implementation of the provisions of this rule are
			 included in the university affirmative action plan. As used in this rule,
			 "Person with a disability," "qualified individual with a disability," and
			 "reasonable accommodation" as applied are defined or applied in Title II of the
			 Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 28 CFR 35.
(C)
								Requirements. The
			 university shall make reasonable accommodations in its academic requirements to
			 ensure that such requirements do not discriminate on the basis of disability
			 against a qualified individual with a disability, whether applicant or student.
			 However, requirements that the university can demonstrate are essential to the
			 program of instruction of the student, or any directly related licensing
			 requirement, or to the physical safety of students, faculty, or staff, will not
			 be regarded as discriminatory.
(D)
								Other rules may
			 not be imposed upon students with disabilities, such as a prohibition of tape
			 recorders or guide dogs, which have the effect of limiting the participation of
			 students in the educational program or activity. Further, in examination or
			 evaluations the university shall provide where possible such methods for
			 evaluating the achievement of students with disabilities as will best insure
			 that the results of the evaluation represent the student's achievement rather
			 than reflecting the student's impaired sensory, manual, or speaking
			 skills.
(E)
								Department notices to students in affected programs.
			 All programs in which nonacademic qualifications are deemed relevant to a
			 program of study must obtain the approval of the educational policies council.
			 The department shall furnish a general description, in writing, of such
			 qualification to the student prior to the time the student is admitted into the
			 program. No student shall be dismissed from such a program unless he or she has
			 been furnished the requisite description prior to admission into the
			 program.
(F)
								Grievance procedures and appeals. The student may
			 appeal decisions made according to this policy. Procedures to be followed are
			 stated in departmental or school policy books.
