Student Accessibility Services


Central Carolina Community College is in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act signed into law on July 26, 1990. In 1994, Central Carolina Community College established the Office of Student Accessibility Services to facilitate the provisions of reasonable accommodations for all students with disabilities. This office coordinates services between the faculty and the special populations students. Our instructors and staff have experience working with students who have disabilities to help them obtain the education they need to enter the workforce or transfer to a four-year institution.

Central Carolina Community College has a commitment to its students to help them succeed. Therefore, Central Carolina Community College has adapted the following policy to guide its delivery of services to students with disabilities:

No otherwise qualified individual shall, by reason of disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination under any program or activity at Central Carolina Community College. The college will make program modifications in instructional delivery and provide supplemental services to enable students with disabilities to participate in activities compatible with their condition and interests.

To Receive Accommodations:

  1. A student completes a standard admission application.

  2. The student must identify himself or herself to the Office of Student Accessibility Services and request accommodations appropriate for his or her disability. (Please request a packet from the Office of Student Accessibility Services.)

  3. The student may be referred to the Office of Student Accessibility Services by high school officials, community agencies, parents, Central Carolina Community College faculty or staff, or may self-refer.

  4. The student must provide current documentation (no older than 5 years) of the disability for which accommodations are requested. See Student Accessibility Services for documentation standards.

  5. Once documentation is received, the student and coordinator will meet to determine necessary accommodations and complete a service contract.

  6. The student completes a Student Schedule Request at the beginning of each semester enrolled as well as anytime their schedule changes, giving the student accessibility coordinator permission to notify instructors of accommodations.

  7. The Coordinator of Student Accessibility Services sends Accommodations Request form to the student’s instructors each term outlining accommodations to which the student is entitled.


Academic Standards


Students with disabilities are expected to meet the same level of academic standards as all other students. The purpose of an accommodation is to minimize the impact of the disability.
