What this law does
A university under the jurisdiction of the Arizona board of regents or a community college must adopt policies that make documentation submitted by an enrolled or admitted student sufficient to establish that the individual is an individual with a disability. Documentation that the individual has had an individualized education program, including one that is not current, is sufficient.
A record or evaluation from a relevant licensed professional finding that the individual has a disability is also sufficient. The policies must be transparent and explicit regarding information about the process by which the university or community college determines eligibility for accommodations. The university or community college must disseminate the policies to students, faculty and the public in accessible formats, including during any student orientation and on its website.
It must also engage in the interactive process to establish a reasonable accommodation, including requesting additional documentation if needed. A university or community college may establish less burdensome criteria than the criteria prescribed in the section.
