Accommodations & Procedure

All services and assistance are consistent with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. More»

Requesting Accommodations

  1. Contact the ADA coordinator in SRC 108G, on campus, at least six (6) weeks before registration to submit any documentation you have and/or to sign a release allowing the college to send for special education records, medical records, or other documentation of disability. New incoming high school graduates should submit documentation after their last IEP staffing, so that records are as complete as possible.
  2. Take placement testing, if needed. If other accommodations are needed, the student needs to talk to the ADA coordinator.
  3. After the documentation is received and reviewed, the student will be contacted to arrange a meeting with the ADA coordinator. Since accommodations are provided on an individualized basis, the student must attend this meeting if accommodations are to be considered.
  4. Attend new student orientation by contacting the Admissions Office, SRC 129, on campus, 847-214-7385. If orientation is not appropriate, the ADA coordinator may suggest a joint staffing with the coordinator, the student and a counselor.

Students sustaining a temporary disability should contact the ADA coordinator before or immediately after they receive medical treatment.
