Services for Students with Disabilities
The Counselor/ADA Coordinator provides information, support services, and assistance to students who have disabilities to enable them to have the greatest opportunity for success possible and to ensure a discrimination-free environment in the pursuit of educational opportunities. Students with disabilities are encouraged to identify themselves and to register with the College.
Early self-identification, will allow the student the opportunity to receive whatever reasonable assistance and/or accommodations are needed as quickly as possible. Students need to make appointments for semester planning meetings as soon as they register for the next semester’s classes with the Counselor/ADA Coordinator. Please refer to the headings below for more information.
DSCC is committed to providing a discrimination free learning environment for all students.
