Disability Services coordinates accommodations for students who self-identify with a disability. This includes students with learning disabilities; students who are deaf or hard of hearing; and students with mental, visual, mobility and other disabilities. Each campus has a disability coordinator who provides accommodations and compensatory strategies that are individualized, flexible, confidential, and based on the nature of the disability and the educational environment.
 
Specialized Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services
The college provides appropriate classroom accommodations for students who are deaf or hard of hearing, such as sign language interpreting, real-time captioning and notetaking services. Disability Services also provides enhanced services through a coordinator specializing in deaf and hard of hearing services who is fluent in American Sign Language, nationally certified staff interpreters and a staff captionist.
