DRAFT Los Angeles City College Office of Special Services Policy for Course Substitutions Rationale for Requesting Course Substitutions Los Angeles City College recognizes most students with disabilities can be successful in all subject areas by adjusting the method of course delivery and utilizing a combination of appropriate accommodations. The College also acknowledges some students face barriers achieving a particular graduation requirement because of a disability that interferes with attaining proficiency in a specific academic area. For example, a student with a specific learning disability in math is unable to achieve the level of advanced math required for graduation. If a student with a disability, who is otherwise qualified, deems accommodations and adjustments will not be sufficient for the successful completion of a specific course, the student may request an alteration in the graduation or certificate requirement as an accommodation for the disability. In considering a request for adjustment of graduation requirements, OSS recommends the consideration of course substitutions. Course substitutions are in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act 1990, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation 1973, and Title 5 of the California Administrative Code. Course substitutions must maintain the academic integrity of LACCs degree programs by requiring students to demonstrate skills equivalent to the course in question. Any course substitution provided to a student should guarantee that any grade assigned is based on the students ability to demonstrate comparable concept mastery. The student must be aware that a subsequent educational institution may not recognize the course substitution. A course substitution is an alternative method of meeting the graduation or certificate requirement at LACC. Requests for substitution or waiver of program requirements not established by LACC should be addressed directly to the transferring institution or licensing age
