CI Policies and Procedures

CI Statement of Nondiscrimination and Disability Services Information

California State University Channel Islands prohibits discrimination or harassment based on sex, gender, race, color, religion, national origin or ancestry, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, cancer-related medical condition, or genetic predisposition. The University also prohibits discrimination against anyone due to a relationship or association with an individual with a known disability.

The University practices equal opportunity in admission to, access to, and operation of instruction, programs, services, and activities. Also, the University provides equally effective communication.

The University considers reasonable accommodation for these purposes: a) completion of the admission and enrollment processes; b) participation in instruction, programs, services and activities; and c) equally effective communication, upon request by persons with legally protected disabilities.

Questions, concerns, complaints, and requests for reasonable accommodation or additional information may be forwarded to Disability Accommodations and Support Services (DASS) at 805-437-3331.

DASS General Service Policy

Disability Accommodations and Support Services (DASS) plays a vital role in all aspects related to educational access for students with disabilities. Students with verified disabilities have the right, and are encouraged, to participate in the services coordinated by DASS. Faculty may also consult with DASS to confirm the legitimacy of a request for accommodation. When students choose to register for services with DASS, they are required to abide by DASS’s policies and procedures. Only those students who identify themselves to the University and present appropriate written documentation of a disability are eligible for academic accommodation.

Students who request accommodations are advised to schedule a new student appointment with a disabilities counselor prior to the beginning of the semester so that arrangements can be made to meet individual needs. Also, students must add semester courses to DASS Online at the beginning of each new semester in order to continue receiving appropriate accommodations..

The decision of a student not to self-identify does not constitute a permanent renouncement of the right to University-administered accommodations. However, if a student chooses not to self-identify and/or request accommodation, the University does not assume responsibility for any disability-related problem(s) that may arise.
