a change in the academic requirement of a program. The change cannot alter what is considered the essential or necessary content of what is being taught. Examples of modifications that may be reasonable include: extension of time permitted to complete a degree program, possibly due to carrying less than the required full-time credit load; substitution or waiver of courses that are part of the degree requirements.

A public entity must modify its policies, practice, or procedures to avoid discrimination unless the modification would fundamentally alter the nature of its service, program, or activity.
