## POLICY STATEMENT

This policy describes the process through which students who believe Nevada State College is not reasonably accommodating a disability may file a formal grievance.

## DEFINITIONS

See DRC 1: Disability Resource Center Definitions for all relevant definitions as they apply to DRC policies.

## PROCEDURES

### I. Right to Grieve

A student may engage in the grievance process if the student believes the DRC is not reasonably accommodating a disability. A student may also file a grievance based on a belief that there has been discrimination due to the student’s disability, whether in class, at a college event, or in any other activity associated with Nevada State College.

### II. Filing a Grievance at Nevada State College

A student wishing to file a grievance related to disability services must contact the Nevada State College ADA/504 Coordinator.

### III. External Grievance Process

If a student believes that there has been discrimination and/or that Nevada State College has failed to remediate the issue, the student may, at any time, file a complaint with the federal Office of Civil Rights (OCR). The student may contact OCR at [https://www.hhs.gov/ocr/index.html](https://www.hhs.gov/ocr/index.html)
