Disability Support Services Offices provide physical and programmatic accommodations to persons with documented disabilities.
This is carried out within the overall goals and mission of the Seattle Colleges Policy and Procedure 387: Disability Nondiscrimination and Accommodations for Students with Disabilities. To be eligible for disability-related services, students must have a disability as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Under the ADA and Section 504, a person has a disability if they have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities (walking, standing, seeing, speaking, hearing, sitting, breathing, and taking care of oneself).
Legal Authority: U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act (P.L. 93-112) and RCW 49.60.
On each campus, Disability Support Services is the designated office that obtains and files disability-related documents, certifies eligibility for services, helps determine academic adjustments, and consults for the provision of such accommodations. Academic adjustments are provided to ensure access to all community college courses, programs, counseling, activities, and facilities.
Disability Support Services provides or arranges a variety of auxiliary services to the community college, such as sign language interpreters, assistive technology, exam modifications, and academic assistance. Auxiliary requests such as Brailling or books on tape are to be requested at least six weeks in advance. There may be a delay in services with less notification. Request for interpreting services with less than four weeks’ notice for ongoing classes can result in delayed services. At least three business days are required for special requests/one-time services and at least a week’s notice for high-profile events.
The Disability Support Services Office offers consultation to faculty, staff, and classified employees of the college for the purpose of designing accommodations that provide equal access to otherwise qualified students regardless of age, gender, race, or sexual orientation.
