Students with Disabilities

Each ACC campus offers support services for students with documented disabilities. Students with disabilities should apply for services with the Office for Students with Disabilities at the primary campus they expect to attend. Each semester students need to meet with the OSD coordinator at all campuses they are attending in order to discuss accommodation needs. Sample accommodations include, but are not limited to, interpreters, note takers, registration assistance, and testing with accommodations. Students with disabilities are urged to apply for accommodations well ahead of, but no less than three weeks before, the start of a term for the accommodations to be prepared for the first day of classes. ACC works with the Texas Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services and community service organizations to provide support services to students.
