The College will reasonably accommodate applicants or employees with disabilities, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act or applicable state law, who are otherwise qualified to safely perform the essential functions of their position, unless such accommodation would create an undue hardship or pose a direct threat to the health and/or safety of the individual or others that cannot be mitigated with reasonable accommodation.

Any applicant or employee who requires an accommodation to participate in the application and/or hiring process, to perform the essential functions of his or her position, or to enjoy equal benefits and privileges of employment should contact the Human Resources Office to request an accommodation.

After receiving the request, Human Resources will engage in an interactive dialogue with the employee to evaluate whether there are any reasonable accommodations available. The College may require medical verification of both the alleged disability and the need for accommodation.
