adjustment request or grievance. In addition, student representation

• The Provost shall appoint a committee chairperson.

direction of the committee chairperson.
• The committee shall review discrimination prohibitions as defined
by Section 504, the ADA, or Title IX, as well as relevant information as provided by the student, and provide a recommendation on the matter to the Provost.
• The recommendation sent to the Provost shall be based on the majority opinion of the committee.
• The student shall be informed of the decision in writing by the office of the Provost within 15 calendar days following receipt of the committee’s recommendation.
• The student shall have no review rights beyond the five-person committee.
MATH DISABILITY
• All students claiming a math disability are required to take the mathematics placement examination. Those not qualified to enroll in either intermediate or college algebra should enroll in MAT 0300, Beginning Algebra, and complete the requirements of that course.
• Students who claim a mathematics disability must immediately counsel with the Director of Disability Accommodation Services (817/531-7565). To claim a disability, students must present documentation according to the Texas Wesleyan University Learning Disability Policy. Until the Director determines that a bona fide mathematics disability exists, the students must comply with the standard mathematics requirement of the University.
• If the Director establishes that a bona fide mathematics disability exists, a recommendation will be forwarded to the Dean of the School of Natural and Social Sciences to substitute logic (Philosophy 2301) for that requirement. The Math Disability accommodation satisfies only the General Education requirement, i.e. PHI 2301 for MAT 1302. Accommodation is not extended to courses that require MAT 1302 as a prerequisite. In the event that additional diagnosed disabilities preclude taking logic, another course will be substituted in consultation with the Dean and the Director.
• If the Director establishes that a bona fide mathematics disability does not exist, the student must comply with the University’s standard mathematics policy.
