Services to Students with Disabilities

Special Populations assists students who are Single Parents, Displaced Homemakers, Economically Disadvantaged, in a program which is non-traditional for their gender, not native English speakers, or who suffer from a Physical or Mental Disability.

Students with Disabilities who wish to seek accommodations must submit documentation (IEP, 504 Plan, or Physician's Note) to the Office of Special Populations. Necessary documentation does not automatically transfer from High School or other colleges; students must self-disclose.
