and/or tutoring are not required to be provided by the college under current statute or regulations for Section 504 or the ADA and its amendments. In such cases, DSPS generally provides suggestions to students for securing support or may work with them or their advocates to complete volunteer agreement processes for assistants provided by other sources to assist the student. If the college chooses to provide certain services outside of the DSPS office (i.e., parking permits, or arranging for accommodations for community service classes or extra-curricular activities not related to a class such as the provision of interpreters for a student who is deaf in a debate club, etc.), these services cannot be counted as DSPS contacts with the students and DSPS funds cannot be used to support them. Academic adjustments, auxiliary aids, services and/or instruction should be available and provided in a timely manner, if needed, at all locations of the college, such as off-campus centers and the students enrolled exclusively in Distance Education courses. If the college operates a middle college or other programs for high school students, it is considered a best practice to delineate the responsibilities of the college and the secondary school through the development of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) regarding which entity will arrange and pay for necessary academic adjustments, auxiliary aids and services. In the case of Distance Education classes at other institutions, ensure the district has an MOU or contract with the entity providing the classes to ensure timely provision of academic adjustments, auxiliary aids and services. In determining the most appropriate and individualized academic adjustments, auxiliary aids and services, it is important that the decision is reached through an interactive discussion with the student and documented in the Academic Accommodation Plan. This overall planning for appropriate academic adjustments, auxiliary aids and/or services is commonly facilitated by certificated staff members such as a DSPS Counselor, Coordinator, LD Specialist, HTC Specialist or Alternate Media Specialist.
