Disability 支持服务

Disability 支持服务 is dedicated to helping students with documented disabilities access all of the educational opportunities and 服务 offered by the College.

Garrett College seeks to provide complete and open access to higher education for all. In this spirit, Garrett College offers support 服务 to enable students with special needs and/or disabilities to gain from their educational experience.

There are significant differences in how students obtain accommodations in college than in high school. Academic accommodations are not automatically put in place; students must be self-advocates and request 服务. 学生 who wish to obtain accommodations for their classes must follow Disability 支持服务 (DSS) procedures:

Complete the Application for 504/ADA Accommodations.
- Provide details about barriers you experience in your academics.
- Discuss accommodations that would work best for you and how to set up those accommodations.
- Please note, you are not considered fully registered with the office until you have been approved for accommodations.
- 记录 provided are kept strictly confidential, and information provided is shared only with permission provided by the student.
Schedule an intake appointment with the Office of Student Development.
学生 will be required to provide current (within the past three years), written professional documentation in order to verify eligibility for special 服务. Such documentation can be in the form of medical reports or psychological evaluations and must specify how learning is impacted including specific accommodations to assist in the learning process.
