Access & Disability Resources

The Office of Access & Disability Resources advocates for the rights of students with disabilities for equal access to educational opportunities. It coordinates resources and accommodations for the students connected with the office. If a student with a disability would like to request accommodations, they must complete a Self-Disclosure of Disability Form.

Students with significant physical disabilities, vision impairments, hearing impairments, and/or other disabilities that may involve specific assistive technologies and/or consultation with outside agencies are encouraged to request accommodations as far in advance of their anticipated start date as possible.

After submitting the Self-Disclosure of Disability Form students will meet with the Director of Student Access and Success to discuss their request for accommodations and determine eligibility. During this meeting, the student should be prepared to discuss the identified disability, and how that disability presents barriers to academic access. They will also learn how to make use of accommodations for which they qualify. For some accommodation requests, official written, third-party documentation of disability will be required. All information will be treated as confidential.

The Office of Access & Disability Resources is within the Academic Center for Enrichment on the lower-level of Student Success Center on BC3 Main Campus. Student Success Coaches help support the office functions at off-campus site locations. Accommodations and resources are available for both credit and non-credit courses.
