Individuals with disabilities are entitled to access, support and when appropriate reasonable accommodations. Human Resources provides System Administration employees with disability related information, services, reasonable accommodations and resources for staff and visitors to support the ongoing development of an accessible university that embraces diversity.
Report an Accessibility Issue
If you encounter an access barrier in the System Administration building, you may fill out the Report an Accessibility Issue Form to report it to Human Resources. Once we receive the form, we will contact you with next steps.
Reasonable Accommodations
A reasonable accommodation is any modification or adjustment to a job or the work environment that will enable a qualified applicant or employee with a disability to participate in the application process or to perform essential job functions.
Fill out and submit the forms below to request a reasonable accommodation:
Confidentiality
The law requires information be kept confidential. However, the law allows us to share your accommodation information with individuals with a legitimate need to know. These persons can include your supervisor(s), human resources personnel, first aid and safety personnel, personnel investigating compliance with the ADA and others. The law does not prohibit you from voluntarily discussing your condition or medical information with others.
CU does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, pregnancy, sexual orientation or veteran status in admission and access to, and treatment and employment in, its educational programs and activities. (Regent Law, Article 10, amended 11/8/2001).
Human Resources is responsible for ensuring compliance with the ADA, Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as well as other federal and state laws relating to disability.
A person with a disability who believes he or she is not being accommodated, or who has experienced discrimination or harassment on the basis of disability, may file a complaint with Human Resources by emailing Tracy.Hooker@cu.edu.
A person may also file a complaint with the federal government through the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (for students), the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (for employees), or the U.S. Department of Justice (for members of the public).
