Services for Students with Learning Disabilities
Each
student in need of special services such as accommodation for a learning disability
MUST self-identify in the Department of Learning and Student Services in order
to be eligible to receive special services and accommodations. Students will
be required to supply the College with the appropriate documentation. The student
with learning disabilities requests testing modifications and sends a copy of
his/her high school Individual Education Plan to the Center for Learning Assistance
as soon after admission as possible. Services are provided on an individualized
basis by considering both the student's limitations and the demands of the course
of study that the student has chosen. Available equipment includes a Kurzeill
3000 PC based reading system that helps people with learning and reading difficulties
improve reading speed and comprehension.
The College's facilities are accessible to students with disabilities. SCCC
does not discriminate on the basis of handicaps in its admissions, educational
programs and activities in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, Services for Students with Disabilities.

Students
who need such services should send a copy of their high school Individual Education
Plan(s) to the Department as soon as possible. Tutoring is also available, free
