Request for Services Application

* indicates a required field
Disability Access Services at Frederick Community College

Disability Access Services (DAS) strives to reduce the impact of a disability on a student's opportunity to learn and participate in campus life. Qualified students who self-identify and provide appropriate documentation of a disability are eligible for reasonable accommodations as described in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act and amendments. We encourage students to request services as early as possible before classes start to ensure adequate time for accommodations to be arranged. Students must supply documentation of their disability and meet with Disability Access Services to be approved for accommodations. This application does not guarantee approved accommodations; each request will be evaluated case-by-case, and accommodations are not retroactive.

FCC Release of InformationRequired

I understand that personnel in the DAS may need to communicate with faculty, staff, and other personnel at FCC in order to provide accommodations for my disability. I understand that this is for the purpose of coordinating accommodations, and DAS personnel do not share diagnostic information unless it is on a need to know basis. This authorization is for internal FCC purposes, and it does not include permission to release information to a third party. 

This consent is valid during my entire enrollment at FCC. I understand that I may revoke this consent at any time by submitting to the DAS a written revocation that is signed by me and witnessed by another person who knows me.
