For interactive or service pages, equally effective means the end result is accomplished in a comparable time and with comparable effort on the part of the requestor. To provide equally effective alternate access, alternates are not required to produce the identical result or level of achievement for persons with and without disabilities, but must afford persons with disabilities equal opportunity to obtain the same result, to gain the same benefit, or to reach the same level of achievement, in the most integrated setting appropriate to the person’s needs.

The College has excluded certain periods on its calendar during which the use of the campus and its facilities, including outdoor spaces, is reserved exclusively for campus-related activities that are at the core of its primary educational mission. During these exclusion periods, use of all public forums shall be largely curtailed so as not to interfere with core, mission-centric programming.

The college defines the exclusion periods to include the following:

1. During opening activities at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters
2. During evaluation and final examination periods as set forth on the academic calendar
3. During graduation-related activities and events, including commencement
4. During major fall or spring campus-wide celebrations including, but not limited to, concerts, orientations, open houses, alumni-related celebrations, and programs with a focus toward high school students
5. During the summer when overnight, day camps, and orientation programs take place
6. During other times when the President determines that such declaration is in the best interests of the college community, such as a public health emergency

Questions about the dates of these exclusion periods may be addressed to the Office of Campus Scheduling and Special Events.
