Your Rights
You have the right to services and reasonable accommodations providing you meet the basic requirements to perform the activities of the program, that is, you are "otherwise qualified" to be an SPSCC student.
Your Responsibilities
Make an appointment with the Access Services Coordinator and:
- Identify yourself as a student with a documented disability
- Present formal written documentation of your disability
- Request reasonable accommodations at SPSCC
- Request services early for every quarter you're enrolled
- Meet and maintain academic standards
- Communicate with your instructors and Access Services staff about your accommodations and needs
Complete and submit an Accommodation Request Form when you register for classes every quarter you're enrolled. Some accommodations (e.g. interpreting services, text in alternative format [Braille, e-text], textbooks on audiotape, enlarged print, etc.) require substantial advanced notice (15 to 30 working days or more). You should plan to register and request accommodations as soon as possible.
