Services for Students Receiving Accommodations

Southeast Community College (SCC) desires to create an accessible community where individuals with disabilities have an equal opportunity to ppursue their educational goals, limited only by their abilities, not their disabilities. To this end, the college will:

• Provide direct, reasonable accommodations and support services for individuals with disabilities.
• Encourage self-determination, independence, and personal responsibility for students with disabilities.
• Provide resources, advocacy, collaborative services, and outreach throughout the College community.
• Promote an open and welcoming environment around campus for individuals with disabilities.
• Inform and educate the Southeast Community College community about disability-related laws, rules, regulations and policies.

Requesting Accommodations

SCC provides reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities to ensure access to educational programs and services.

Any student with a documented disability or interest in learning more about accommodations at SCC can contact the Accommodations Resource Office to discuss the accommodation process and their eligibility for accommodations. Students who are requesting an accommodation based on a documented disability are advised to make the request known as soon as possible to ensure timely service.

Please complete the Student Request for Reasonable Accommodations form and call, email, or mail it to Mark Mason with the contact information listed on this page. You will then be contacted by someone from the Accommodations Resource Office to discuss the accommodation process or your specific accommodation needs. Please indicate the most convenient manner with which you would like to be contacted. Students can contact the Accommodations Resource Office at any time before, during, or after an SCC term.

Accommodations Concerns

If a student believes that an accommodation(s) is ineffective or that they have been denied equal access to appropriate accommodations, modifications, auxiliary aids, or effective communication, and efforts to resolve the issues are unsuccessful, a student may file a complaint. Students are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns through their campus Accommodations Resource Office. Students may use the College’s accommodations concerns procedure to appeal decisions regarding student accommodations, and may do so without first going through the College’s informal grievance process.
