The role of this office is to assist all qualified students with disabilities in pursuing their educational goals. The Accommodative Services office attempts to coordinate students' needs with services and resources available within the College system and in the community.
In order to assist the students, the College offers a number of support services, including academic advisement and classroom and testing accommodations.
