Faculty/Teaching Staff Rights

Important Note: Accommodation letters contain confidential information and should be handled and stored accordingly

Right to Verification of Disability:
  • Request verification of a student’s eligibility for requested accommodations in the form of an Accommodation Letter prepared by Kokua Ike staff and delivered by the student, either in person or through e-mail.
  • If a student does not request accommodations and provide an Accommodation Letter from Kokua Ike, faculty are not obligated to provide accommodations.
  • Kokua Ike is the only office designated to review disability documentation and determine eligibility for appropriate accommodations.  Faculty should not solicit or review a student’s documentation, or seek to arrange accommodations directly with the student.
Right to Student Initiation of Accommodations:
  • Expect the student to initiate accommodations requests in a timely manner.
  • Expect the student to provide prompt notification of changes to approved accommodations.
  • Collaborate with the student and professional staff regarding recommended accommodations.
Right to Maintain Academic and Program Standards:
  • Uphold academic standards and the integrity of courses and academic programs.
  • Uphold conduct and technical standards of a course or program of study.
  • Immediately inform Kokua Ike if an accommodation compromises the essential requirements of a course or program.

Faculty Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions or concerns regarding accommodations should be directed to Kristin Hirata, Tutor Coordinator at kristin.hirata@chaminade.edu.

Any requests for accommodation are made through Kokua Ike. Students should contact ada@chaminade.edu to request services.

Any student who has an approved accommodation through Kokua Ike will be provided an Accommodation Letter for the academic school year. Students are responsible for sharing the Accommodation Letter with their instructors. Instructors will not receive an email from Kokua Ike notifying them of each student’s accommodation.

No, instructors are advised not to provide a disability-related accommodation for any student without an ADA Accommodation Letter from Kokua Ike. Each ADA Accommodation Letter clearly states what ADA accommodations have been approved by Kokua Ike and agreed upon by the student.

If a student requests to change/update any accommodation, they should contact Kokua Ike to discuss. If an accommodation is changed/updated, a new Accommodation Agreement will be developed and a new Accommodation Letter will be provided to the student. A student may be asked to provide additional information or verification of disability.

Accommodations are not retroactive. Students have been advised to request accommodations as early as possible in order to allow enough time for timely notice and coordination.
