Educational Support Plans
Individualized information plans are sent with a student’s consent to instructors, informing them of any special considerations and services required by the student. THESE ARE IMPORTANT AND STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO MAKE THIS REQUEST AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH SEMESTER.
Testing Accommodations
Alternative test accommodations are available when usual testing methods reflect a student’s disability rather than the student’s level of achievement. Testing accommodations are determined after careful review of the documentation provided by the student and individual consultation between the student and a staff member. Testing services (for exams, quizzes etc.) are provided to assist the faculty in providing accommodations that meet the legal mandates of ADA and Section 504.

Appropriate Accommodations
A complete individual assessment is conducted with each student to determine specific academic support services. The determination of accommodations is based on the professional evaluations and recommendations provided by the student. Information regarding the student is confidential and will be shared only with the appropriate faculty and staff members after an official consent form has been signed.
Student Responsibilities
- Make contact with the Disability Support Services office about your disability
- Complete the forms required to receive services

- Meet with appropriate faculty and staff to discuss accommodations and concerns
- Make request for accommodations at the beginning of each semester (some accommodations need to be made 30 days on advance)

Parking Permits
Students with state issued disabilities license plates or placards must register with Campus Security. The fine for parking in areas designated for individuals with disabilities without the valid state parking permit or the CSCC temporary hang tag will be $100.00. This policy will be strictly enforced.
