Service for Students with Disabilities

Southeast Community College desires to create an accessible community where individuals with disabilities have an equal opportunity to pursue 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

Southeast Community College provides reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities to ensure access to educational programs and services. 

Any student with a documented disability should contact the Career Advising Center to determine 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. Students should complete the Student Request for Reasonable Accommodations form and mail, fax, email, or deliver it to the Career Advising Center along with the appropriate documentation of their disability, when applicable.

 If you have a disability, are taking classes on campus and would like to contact the Disability Services Office for assistance, there may be issues that need to be explored to ensure that you are able to access the course and participate effectively. Please contact the Disability Services Office at your earliest convenience.

Please complete the Student Request for Reasonable Accommodations form and fax, email, or mail it to the Career Advising Center. You will then be contacted by someone from the Career Advising Center to discuss your specific accommodation needs. Please indicate the most convenient manner with which you would like to be contacted.

ADA Grievance

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 grievance.  Students are encouraged to seek resolution of the grievance through the informal process before filing a formal grievance.  However, students may use the College’s formal grievance procedure to appeal decisions regarding student accommodations, and may do so without first going through the College’s informal grievance process.
