Course Substitution/Exceptions
UCO will make every effort to reasonably accommodate students with disabilities in an effort to achieve parity with non-disabled students in teaching and evaluation methods, access to learning environments, and technology. Please note, however, that neither UCO nor an individual faculty member is required to waive an essential or fundamental academic requirement of a course, regardless of the nature of the student’s disability. For further information, please visit Academic Affairs Policy 1.12: Course Substitutions/Exceptions for Students with Disabilities which sets forth procedures and guidelines. DSS has created a Course Substitution/Exception Request Form to assist students with what pertinent information to relay to the department/school director and dean regarding your request. Although this form is not required, it is strongly recommended.
