The Art Institute of Seattle recognizes that traditional methods, programs and services are not always appropriate or sufficient to accommodate the limitations experienced by some qualified persons with disabilities. When a student's disability prevents him/her from fulfilling a course requirement through conventional procedures, consideration will be given to alternatives, keeping in mind that academic standards must be maintained.
Students with disabilities who are requesting accommodations are requested to make timely and appropriate disclosures and requests, preferably at least six weeks in advance of the class for which accommodation is requested. The Disability Services Director coordinates accommodations for students with disabilities. Contact the Director, Karen Ehnat, at (206) 239-2308 or kehnat@aii.edu.
Each student eligible for accommodations and/or services has certain responsibilities to fulfill. The student must provide The Art Institute of Seattle with medical or other diagnostic documentation that confirms his/her impairment, the limitations resulting from the impairment, and recommendations for specific accommodations. (Documentation means a report based on an evaluation that was made - usually within the last three years - by a qualified professional).
