Description

Part of our Belonging on Campus Series! This webinar supports student conduct educators in understanding ADA requirements and adapting conduct processes to implement reasonable accommodations. Participants will assess current institutional practices, identify gaps, and discuss how to proactively address concerns to strengthen procedural fairness. This webinar is designed for professionals seeking practical, entry‑level guidance and knowledge.

Learning Outcomes:

• Participants will learn how to identify when and how accessibility-related accommodations should be applied throughout the student conduct process—including intake, emergency measures, investigation, informal resolution, hearings, outcomes, and administrative functions (aka paperwork and website)
• Participants will discuss the practical strategies and learn how to operationalize reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities to ensure equitable participation.
• Participants will learn and practice how to evaluate current hearing board and staff training content for Americans with Disabilities Act related awareness, implicit bias, and procedural fairness—especially when engaging students who have invisible disabilities.
