Q:
College and accommodations for disabled student
I am in college and receive accommodations because of learning disabilities. I am trying to get an accommodation for tests in a different format (oral exams instead of written) I saw on this website that this is an college accommodation (this link http://www.education.com/reference/article/inst...
The disabilities lady at the college says this is not allowed on the college level because they cannot tell the instructors to change their courses or to lower the standards of the class. I do not see how this would lower the standards. Besides this website is there a way i can prove that this is allowed at the college level? I tried reading the section 504 and ADA sites but can't find any specific details.
Thank's in advance

Students with Disabilities are protected under different laws at the college level. I would recommend that you check out the following site for information on laws and additional college information for students with disabilities. Also, at the college level it is the students responsibility to pay for an evaluation to prove that you have a disability.
