Colorado College is committed to being an exciting place of learning and discovery for all of its students and strives to provide equal educational opportunities to students with disabilities.
Jan Edwards Mailing Address: Welcome to Disability Services Colorado College offers a variety of services and resources to help students succeed and, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, CC faculty and staff work closely with students with disabilities to ensure equal access to the College’s programs, activities, services, and facilities. Disability Services (DS) is the designated office at Colorado College that coordinates support services and determines eligibility for accommodations for qualified students with disabilities. Students requesting services are asked to complete a request for disability support services form, submit documentation of disability, and schedule a DS intake meeting. The documentation submitted by the student is used to verify eligibility for services under the ADA and Section 504. Support services are provided to students on an individualized basis. Some of the accommodations used by students at Colorado College include, but are not limited to, extended time on tests, a distraction-reduced test setting, notetaking services, and alternative formats of text. We also provide academic counseling and, in collaboration with Academic Technology Services, a variety of assistive technology options to enhance students' academic experiences. To learn more about disability support services, please schedule a meeting with Jan Edwards, director of DS. Jan can answer any questions you may have about our services and can assist you with the DS registration process. Students can also meet with our learning consultant, Dr. Bill Dove, a professional psychologist specializing in learning disabilities. In addition to consulting on disability-related issues, Dr. Dove helps students identify their learning styles and develop effective learning strategies. We look forward to working with you. Please feel free to contact us at any time if you would like to request services or need additional information. |
