Confidentiality Policy
The Student Accessibility Center (SAC) is
the office/department on campus that is assigned the responsibility for
collecting and holding disability related documentation for students
with disabilities.
- Disability related
information will be treated as confidential. This includes the
comprehensive documentation from an appropriate source that persons
with disabilities must provide to establish the existence of their
disability and their need for accommodation.
- Disability related
information will be collected and maintained by SAC and kept in secure
files with limited access.
- Disability related
information will be shared only on a limited basis within the
institutional community. It may be shared only when there is a
compelling reason for an individual from the institution to seek
information regarding some specific aspect of this confidential
information. For example, this may mean sharing with faculty only
the information that a student has a documented disability and need for
accommodation(s).
- The need to share disability information
may change with time and circumstances, and it is incumbent upon the
SAC program manager and director to determine what is appropriate to
share in specific situations.
- Information regarding Disclosure of
Disability Information is attached to this policy and is to be shared
with each student as s/he registers with SAC.
