Academic accommodations are coordinated through the Disability Resource Center (formerly Disability Support Services). The following links provide quick access to specific areas of support provided by the college. New students or those who have never before contacted the DRC for services should review information on getting started at the DRC.

Request Accommodation

Students with disabilities have the right to appropriate accommodation in their classrooms and throughout the physical and digital campus environments. There is a formal process for students to initiate services and request accommodations. Please visit the DRC website or contact the DRC for more information.
