Facts about Accommodations and Services
Students with disabilities are required to initiate
requests for specific accommodations each semester. These requests will
be directed to the instructor through the Faculty Notification Letter or
ACCESS staff. The program will determine if the services you request are
appropriate and reasonable for your individualized educational limitation. You may request adjustments
as needed. These services ensure your access to a level playing field,
so all students regardless of their disability may pursue their college
goals. You are responsible for your personal success. Students participating in ACCESS adhere to the same academic standards of any other college student.
