SPECIAL SERVICES FOR
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

Catawba Valley Community College provides services for students with disabilities. Under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 a person with a disability includes any person who has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more of such person's major life activities; has a record of such impairment; or is regarded as having such impairment.

Any student with a disability may request reasonable accommodations provided the student submits current documentation (within the past 3 years) of his/her disability completed by an appropriate professional. All information is kept confidential. The student will be required to sign a release of information form before any special contacts are made to arrange accommodations. Request for accommodations must be made several days in advance to allow sufficient time for accommodations to be arranged.

The following is a partial list of accommodations provided by the college: counseling services, tutors, note takers and carbonless duplication paper, recorded textbooks, tape recorders for taping lecture classes, interpreters, computer with voice software, and extended time for tests.
