Accommodations for Programs and Events
K-State Research and Extension and Kansas 4-H strive to make its programs and events accessible to all Kansans who are otherwise eligible to participate in the activities. This applies to local and state events/programs. Reasonable accommodations are often possible for persons with disabilities who wish to participate, so long as granting the accommodations does not fundamentally alter the nature of the program, cause undue hardship or otherwise cause a direct threat to the health or safety of the participant or others.
K-State Research and Extension and the Department of 4-H Youth Development will work with the participant to identify a reasonable accommodation that provides access to the desired program. Please note that the accommodation may not be the one proposed by the participant.
In collaboration with your local Extension professional, it is essential for the Accommodation Request Form to be completed online to launch a formal accommodations process. If you would like assistance locating your local Extension office, please visit https://www.ksre.k-state.edu/about/stateandareamaps.html.
We recognize that accommodations may be requested up to the date of the event. However, some accommodation requests require time to determine and coordinate. KSRE requests that this form be submitted no later than four weeks prior to the event or activity. Please note: we will continue to accept requests for accommodations up to and including the day of the event. Submitting accommodation requests as soon as possible increases our ability to provide the most effective accommodations.
Upon receipt of the Accommodation Request Form, you will be invited to an in-person, virtual or phone intake process. An eligibility team will review the request and determine accommodations. The team may consist of KSRE and K-State Human Resources personnel as well as people knowledgeable about the day-to-day activities of the participant. Following the eligibility meeting, persons requesting accommodations will be notified via email of the results.
PDF copy of the request form - all requests must be completed online.
