Ocean County College offers reasonable accommodations for qualified students with disabilities on an individualized basis. Using the interactive process, a collaborative process between Disability Services staff, the student, and faculty we consider a wide variety of factors when determining reasonable accommodations, including the:
- Other relevant facts
- Nature of the disability and its impact on learning
- Documentation provided
Students who are approved for accommodations should connect with Disability Services to generate a notification of accommodations letter, which is sent via email to instructors.
Students may be eligible for a variety of accommodations. These accommodations may include, but are not limited to:
- Extended testing time
- Alternate format textbooks
- Reduced distraction testing environment
- Note taking support
- Sign language interpreters
- CART or captioning
- Use of adaptive and assistive technologies
While the process for requesting reasonable accommodations may be started at any time, reasonable accommodations may not be implemented retroactively.
