Accessing Resources
If you are a student with a disability and are considering attending the college or are already enrolled, you should make an appointment with one of the Disability Services staff to discuss how to access services and accommodations. This is the BEST way to ensure timely access to services.
Students are solely responsible for contacting Disability Services staff to request any accommodations or services. There are 4 steps that need to occur for you to begin utilizing services.
1. Schedule Appointment with Disability Services Staff

2. Complete & Turn in Application
3. Begin to Obtain Documentation
This step will aid Disability staff, ensuring accommodations are available at the start of the semester.
Written third party documentation of the disability is usually required before services can be provided, so a student should either bring appropriate documentation to his/her appointment with one of the Disability Services staff or have it faxed/mailed to Disability Services staff prior to the appointment.
