Accessibility Services coordinates accommodations for students with disabilities to ensure equal access to programs and services. Accommodations are coordinated to fit individual needs and may include extended time on exams, distraction-reduced environments to take exams, readers and/or scribes for exams, sign language interpreters, computer-aided real-time translation services, note-taking services, assistive technology, other specialized equipment, and large print materials.
Accessibility Services employs case managers who check in with students to discuss academic progress, accommodations, and life stressors. Case managers provide services that help students learn how to navigate the college environment, receive support services, and connect to resources.
New students are encouraged to contact the Accessibility Services at least one month prior to registration. Students requesting services are responsible for providing educational, psychological, or medical documentation from a qualified professional verifying their disability and the need for services. Accessibility Services maintains the confidentiality of student information as required by applicable laws.
