The Office of Retention and Student Success assists students with physical, psychological and learning disabilities in fulfilling the curriculum’s fundamental requirements by accessing reasonable accommodations to ensure that they have equal access to educational opportunities at the College.
  
Students with physical, psychological and learning disabilities may have a need for reasonable accommodations throughout their enrollment. Regardless of circumstances, students wishing to request accommodations must self-identify and meet with the Office of Retention and Student Success as soon as they wish to request services. Though requests of accommodations can be made at any time, to ensure the accommodation is in place prior to a semester starting, all requests should be made at least two weeks prior.
