The Office of Disabilities Services provides services students with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, and psychological disabilities. Disabilities Support Services serves as a campus advocate for the needs of students with disabilities. Its goal is to ensure that all students have an equal opportunity to access academic programs and other aspects of college life. We welcome information and questions from students, faculty, and staff about the accessibility of CCCUA ’s academic programs and facilities. A person who has special needs is eligible for these services if they meet the federal definition of disability, request assistance from the Disability Support Services office and provide acceptable documentation of that disability. If you have a disability which presents a problem in accessing classes and if you are interested in getting assistance, please contact us so that we may speak with you as soon as possible.
