OCR Letter Utah Valley College

08102026 OCR Letter Utah Valley College. Interpreters; penalty imposed for missing classes without 2 hours' notice for canceling sign language interpreters.  Narrow ruling on ability to penalize student for no-show. If, as in this case, the student's habitual no-shows continue without good cause the burden may be shifted to the student and the announced charges may be imposed for subsequent, persistent no-shows without running afoul of the ADA and Section 504. NOTE: You cannot have a blanket policy for penalization. However, a clear process with multiple methods for communication and clearly delineated consequences that the student signs as an agreement may be acceptable.
