Facility, Equipment, and Supply Standard 1:

Students in the program have access to institutional facilities, equipment, and supplies consistent with other students with the same student status.

Guidance

“Student status” refers to the status of the student in the institution, such as matriculating, degree, non-degree, certificate, continuing education, and others.

This standard only addresses facilities, equipment such as computers, and supplies. See to address services and social and recreational activities. Institutions are not able to require outside entities such as the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to change their rules. However, except in situations controlled by outside entities, students in the program must, at a minimum, have access to institutional facilities consistent with other students with the same student status.

Required for Review

  • Document that students in the program have student identification cards that provide access to institutional facilities consistent with other students with the same student status.

  • Provide a checklist of the institution’s facilities and indicate which facilities are accessible to students in the program on the same basis as other students with the same student status.

  • Indicate the student status of the students in your program. If student status limits access, indicate how it does so.
