Our Commitment to Providing Reasonable Accommodations

Los Rios Community College District is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to qualified employees. In accordance with the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), American River College will engage in the interactive process with qualified employees with disabilities to determine if they can perform the essential functions of their jobs with or without reasonable accommodations.

Employees who believe they are qualified for reasonable accommodations should submit the ADA/FEHA Accommodation Request Form or contact their ADA/504 compliance officer.

504 Coordinator

The interactive process is a discussion – which can include a meeting in person or virtual meeting – between the employee, their supervisor/manager, and the ADA coordinator to determine determine if the employee can perform the essential functions of their job with or without reasonable accommodations. This process may include the employee's union representative or other relevant parties. The ADA coordinator, working with the supervisor or manager, ultimately determines if an accommodation is reasonable.

FAQs

Visit the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission website for additional information and FAQs regarding ADA accommodations.

Any employee with a disability who needs a service animal to perform the essential functions of their job may use a service animal on district and college property.
