Students with Disabilities
CVCC is committed to facilitating students with disabilities as a part of its commitment to provide equal opportunities in higher education.
Students with Disabilities
A program of services is provided for students with disabilities. Individuals with disabilities (as defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) and the Amendments Act of 2008 wishing to make a request for reasonable accommodation or wishing to file a complaint of alleged discrimination on the basis of disability should contact the Counselor for Student with Disabilities and Special Programs.
It is the student's responsibility to request these services. Current documentation of the disability by an appropriate professional may be required. All information is kept confidential. Students will be required to sign a release of information form before any special contact is made to arrange accommodations. Requests for reasonable accommodation should be made several weeks in advance to allow sufficient time for accommodations to be arranged.
