The university or community college may ask for additional documentation from an individual who had an individualized education program but who was subsequently evaluated and determined to be ineligible for services under the individuals with disabilities education act (P.L. 91-230; 84 Stat. 175 to 188), including an individual determined to be ineligible during elementary school.

(b) Documentation describing services or accommodations provided to the individual pursuant to a section 504 plan as defined in § 15-731.

(c) A plan or record of service for the individual from a private school, a local education agency, a state educational agency or an institution of higher education provided in accordance with the Americans with disabilities act of 1990 (P.L. 101-336; 104 Stat. 327).

(d) A record or evaluation from a relevant licensed professional finding that the individual has a disability.

(e) A plan or record of disability from another institution of higher education.

2. Are transparent and explicit regarding information about the process by which the university or community college determines eligibility for accommodations for an individual with a disability.

B. A university under the jurisdiction of the Arizona board of regents or a community college as defined in § 15-1401 shall disseminate the policies adopted pursuant to subsection A of this section to students, faculty and the public in accessible formats, including during any student orientation and on the university's or community college's website.

C. A university or community college may establish less burdensome criteria than the criteria prescribed in subsection A of this section to establish an individual as an individual with a disability.

D. A university under the jurisdiction of the Arizona board of regents or a community college as defined in § 15-1401 shall engage in the interactive process to establish a reasonable accommodation, including requesting additional documentation, if needed, for an individual pursuant to section 504 of the rehabilitation act of 1973 (P.L. 93-112; 87 Stat. 355; 29 United States Code § 794) and the Americans with disabilities act of 1990 (P.L. 101-336; 104 Stat. 327).

E. This section does not affect the meaning of the terms “reasonable accommodation” or “record of impairment” under the Americans with disabilities act of 1990 (P.L. 101-336; 104 Stat. 327) or the rights or remedies provided under the Americans with disabilities act of 1990 (P.L. 101-336; 104 Stat. 327).
