Accommodations/Support Services Guidelines

To provide academic accommodations to a student with a disability, the college needs documentation of the disability.  Documentation must be current, signed by an appropriate professional, and must include assessment results, a diagnosis of disability, and recommended accommodations relevant to disability needs. These documents are held in a confidential file in order to help us better meet your disability service needs. Submit documentation and a request for accommodations to Judy Jacobson Berg, Counselor for Students with Disabilities.

Allow plenty of time for the College to supply the necessary services; two or more weeks are usually needed to provide sign language interpreters.  Textbooks and materials in alternative format require at least six weeks notice.

Academic Accommodations Available

• Alternate formats of college materials and text books i.e., recorded/electronic format, large print, Braille, etc.

• Course accommodations/modifications
• Test accommodations:  extended time, alternative environment, tests presented orally, scribe
