                     CHAPTER I--DEPARTMENT OF STATE
 
PART 142--NONDISCRIMINATING ON THE BASIS OF HANDICAP IN PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES RECEIVING FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE--Table of Contents
 
                   Subpart D--Postsecondary Education
 
Sec. 142.47  Non-academic services.

    (a) Physical education and athletics. (1) In providing physical 
education courses, athletics and similar programs and activities to any 
of its students, a recipient to which this subpart applies may not 
discriminate on the basis of handicap. A recipient that offers physical 
education courses or that operates or sponsors intercollegiate, club, or 
intramural athletics shall provide to qualified handicapped students an 
equal opportunity for participation in these activities.
    (2) A recipient may offer to handicapped students physical education 
and athletic activities that are separate or different only if separate 
or differentiation is consistent with the requirements of Sec. 142.43(d) 
and only if no qualified handicapped student is denied the opportunity 
to compete for teams or to participate in courses that are not separate 
or different.
    (b) Counseling and placement services. A recipient to which this 
subpart applies that provides personal, academic or vocational 
counseling, guidance, or placement services to its students shall 
provide these services without discrimination on the basis of handicap. 
The recipient shall ensure that qualified handicapped students are not 
counseled toward more restrictive career objectives than are 
nonhandicapped students with similar interests and abilities. This 
requirement does not preclude a recipient from providing factural 
information about licensing and certification requirements that may 
present obstacles to handicapped persons in their pursuit of particular 
careers.
    (c) Social organizations. A recipient that provides significant 
asssistance to fraternities, sororities, or similar organizations shall 
assure itself that the membership practices of such organizations do not 
permit discrimination otherwise prohibited by this subpart.
