The academy adopts:

1. Design as accessible as possible;
2. Individual consultation;
3. The minimum amount of data necessary;
4. Timely response;
5. No retaliation or academic demotion due to the request;
6. Choose an effective solution that does not impose a disproportionate burden.

Anyone facing a permanent, temporary or intermittent disability can request an accommodation. It is not necessary to use a specific diagnosis or label to start the dialogue.

It is preferable to apply early, but the application should not be rejected simply because it is late. Some arrangements may not be applied retrospectively to a completed assessment if verification or fair treatment is not possible.

The request describes the functional constraint, the proposed arrangement, and the dates affected. It can be submitted by mail, account, or by the guardian or legal representative when necessary.

Only required if the need or suitability of the solution is not clear. It is usually sufficient to state the functional limitations and the expected duration; A complete medical file or details not related to learning are not required.

May include:

• Extra time or rest periods;
• Readable file format or alternative text;
• Transcription or text translation;
• Assistive technology;
• An alternative assessment date or method;
• A camera is not obligatory when an alternative is possible;
• Extension or temporary relief of the burden;
• A communication channel that suits the need.

The ranking preserves the core skill to be measured. If the proposed arrangement is not possible, the Academy will search with the trainee for an effective alternative and explain the reason for the decision.

The Academy strives for organized titles, appropriate contrast, alternative text, keyboard navigation, readable documents, and clear labels. Priority is given to fixing the barrier preventing access to mandatory content.

Announces whether recording or transcribing is available. The time zone, the need for an interpreter, companion or breaks are taken into account, with reasonable advance notice.

Need data is kept in a restricted manner, and the teacher shares only the information necessary to implement the arrangement, not the diagnosis unless necessary, approved, or legally required.

No fee is charged for the reasonable arrangement itself. If the user requests an optional service that exceeds the approved need, its status and cost shall be clarified before approval.

An arrangement that eliminates an essential educational outcome or creates an irreducible risk or disproportionate burden may be rejected after a documented individual assessment and consideration of alternatives, rather than on a general assumption.

If another party implements the arrangement, minimal information is transferred to it and responsibilities remain contractually defined. The trainee is not asked to re-explain sensitive data unnecessarily.

A review of a denial, delay, or inadequate implementation may be requested pursuant to POL-18, without adversely affecting acceptance or outcome.
