Eligibility for Accommodations and Services

Lake City Community College's Office of Disability Services provides access and academic accommodations for qualified students. A qualified student is one who meets the requisite academic standards for admission or participation in college programs or activities. A student is eligible for accommodations based on the following criteria:

1.  The student makes the need known by scheduling an intake appointment with the Office of Disability Services. The student requests accommodations by completing the student intake form during the appointment.

2.  The student must submit appropriate documentation of a disability from a qualified medical doctor or psychologist indicating the nature and extent of the disability and recommendations for accommodation in a postsecondary academic environment.

3.  Disability Services staff reviews the documentation, determines if the impairment is substantially limiting, and determines if the student is eligible for the accommodation(s) requested. The Office of Disability Services  will review submitted documentation and determine appropriateness of the documentation and accommodations on a case-by-case basis.

4.  When requests are deemed reasonable and appropriate, the Office of Disability Services will request the student to sign an "Accommodation Form" which identifies the reasonable and appropriate accommodations for the course(s) in which the student is enrolled.
