Learning Disabilities

Many students of average or above-average intelligence have diagnosed learning disabilities. These students may receive special support services and accommodations to complement their learning needs. Special services include diagnostic testing, notetakers, alternative test arrangements, academic tutoring and faculty/community liaison services.

Physical and Psychological Disabilities

Students with the following disabilities are eligible to receive special support services: hearing impaired and deaf, blind and low-vision, mobility impaired, psychologically disabled (a diagnosis from a psychologist or psychiatrist), and other health problems that would require special assistance in the college environment.
