Lambda School welcomes and embraces diversity and is committed to providing otherwise qualified Learners equal access to programs and activities by having nondiscriminatory standards in all academic areas and reasonable accommodations.

Accommodations

Reasonable accommodations are evaluated and given on an individualized basis. A reasonable accommodation is an adjustment or minor change that removes barriers. Reasonable accommodations do not involve lowering academic standards, or alterations to a program.

• Reasonable accommodations, including support services, are individually tailored depending on a Learner's disability and its severity. The following is a list of possible accommodations. Not every Learner qualifies (or needs) every accommodation. Additionally, other accommodations not listed here may be possible.

All Learners have access to help channels via slack, after hours assistance, and support hours. Additionally, Learners have access to past and current recorded lectures and course materials. Closed captioning may be turned on for recordings by clicking the "cc" button at the bottom right of the video. Videos may be slowed down by clicking the "settings" or gear icon at the bottom right of the video and selecting "playback speed".

Lambda School reserves the right to deny a request for accommodations if documentation does not demonstrate that the request is warranted, if the Learner fails to provide appropriate documentation, or if the request is found to be unreasonable given the circumstances of the individual in relation to the situation/setting. Additionally, Lambda School may deny or refuse accommodation requests that impose a fundamental alteration of a program or activity.

Requesting Accommodations

• Prior to requesting accommodations from Lambda School, Learners must first obtain documentation from a qualified, licensed professional that includes a diagnosis, how the diagnosis was established, the functional impairments, and a rationale for the requested accommodations. See below for more information.
• Once documentation has been obtained, request a meeting to discuss accommodations with a Leaner Success staff member via /frontdesk. Please note that a Learner does not need to disclose the type of disability or type of accommodations they are requesting in their /frontdesk message, only that they would like to speak with someone about requesting accommodations.
• Accommodation eligibility is determined on Learner's individual's condition, history, request, and the essential elements of Lambda School's programs, services, and activities.

Learner Role in Accommodations

• Prior to, or once accommodations have been approved by a member of the Learner Success team, the Leaner has the responsibility to:

Documentation

Documentation is needed to establish the nature of a Learner's disability, as well as the academic impact in order to support the requested accommodations. Every request is evaluated on an individualized basis and includes an interactive process between a Learner Success Advisor and the Leaner, therefore, the type of documentation required depends on the nature of the request and is taken into consideration along with other factors, including the Learner's self-report.

• Documentation must:
• Documentation can be submitted in the following formats:
• Supplemental documentation:

If documentation does not meet the standards above, Learners are still encouraged to reach out to Learner Success staff via /frontdesk to request information about accommodations. When working with a Learner Success staff member, Learners are encouraged to submit any relevant information they have related to diagnosis. Learners can work with Learner Success staff to determine what additional documentation may be necessary.

If Learners do not have any documentation, it is encouraged that they reach out to Learner Success staff to learn more about the process for requesting accommodations and obtaining documentation.
