Student academic accommodations
Students start with the ADS disclosure and intake process, review needs with an ADS Coordinator, and share their accommodation letter with instructors. Returning students can contact their Coordinator to review or continue arrangements. Request assistance early. Accommodations remove disability-related barriers while preserving essential academic requirements.
- Start or continue a student accommodation request
- Review academic and testing accommodation examples
Employee accommodations
Employees and applicants can contact Human Resources to begin an individualized interactive process. Requests may involve equipment, schedule changes, communication access, or other effective adjustments. The College may provide an effective alternative and considers essential job duties and applicable limits.
