Southwestern
Community College provides equal access to education
for persons with disabilities. However, it is the
responsibility of the student to make his or her
disability known and to request academic or physical
accommodations. For optimal service, requests should
be made in a timely manner and submitted along with
professional documentation which verifies the existence
of an ADA recognized disability (and which states
the functional limitations of the disability within
the community college setting) to the Director of
Student Support Services.
Once
appropriate documentation has been received, every
reasonable effort will be made to provide services.
In order to develop accommodations, students will
meet with an SSS advisor to design an Educational
Support Plan. Depending on the nature of the disability,
the College has the right to request current documentation.
All documentation and records provided will be
maintained in a confidential manner as outlined
in the Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974.
New
construction and renovations to campus facilities
are designed to comply with the laws governing
ADA.
