Students with Disabilities

Counselors on every campus can provide services for students with medical, psychological & learning disabilities.​ It’s the student’s responsibility to make the college aware of a disability and need for accommodation.

1. Complete the new student intake form.
2. Provide documentation of your disability. You can upload your documentation to Accommodate (our accommodations portal) or give a copy to your Educational Accessibility Counselor at your intake meeting.  View the guidelines for documentation of disabilities. 
3. Once you complete the new student intake form, check your email and follow the instructions to schedule an appointment  Appointments should be made at least 30 days prior to the first day of classes, when requesting interpreters or alternate formats.

**Accommodations are not retroactive and cannot be used by instructors to adjust grades prior to receipt of the accommodation form.
