Policy regarding Americans with Disabilities Act accommodations and course substitutions in the AGEC 

Approved by APASC, June 27, 2000.

The General Education Articulation Task Force (GEATF) recommends to APASC that the AGEC/ADA Proposal be accepted and disseminated to the Arizona public institutions of higher learning.

The GEATF recommends adoption of the following proposal:

• That the GEATF attach an addendum to the AGEC document addressing an AGEC substitution policy in compliance with the ADA:
• For those majors in which the completion of course work in mathematics has been determined through a deliberative process to be essential to the major, no substitution will be granted.
• For those majors in which the completion of course work in mathematics is not regarded as essential to the major, substitutions of course work will be permitted. Substituted courses will be regarded as equivalent to the original requirement and may be used in full completion of AGEC.
• That those institutions which require a second/modern/foreign language for AGECs in Arts, Sciences, or Business develop a similar substitution policy.

• June 27, 2000 APASC accepts ADA Proposal and disseminates the proposal to Arizona public institutions of higher education for feedback.

• October 17, 2000 APASC revisits the ADA Proposal based on institutional feedback.

• October 17, 2000 APASC passes the proposal.

• APASC notifies Arizona public institutions of higher education of the implementation date.

• Fall, 2001 Implementation of ADA Proposals
