Accommodations

Accessibility Services is committed to ensuring equal access by fostering an accessible learning environment and provides comprehensive, professional services and programs for students who self-identify with disabilities to ensure equal academic opportunities and participation in College-sponsored programs. Driven by the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, Accessibility Services implements a robust, structured process to establish disability, understand how disability may impact a student, and make informed decisions about accommodations. Ensuring that accommodations provide effective access requires a collaborative, individualized approach that is unique to each student.

The purpose of an accommodation is to ensure an equal educational opportunity for qualified individuals with disabilities. Accommodations may include auxiliary aides and services, as well as modifications to academic requirements as necessary to minimize the impact of the disability.
