Students must provide documentation that verifies their disability status and information about how that disability impacts their participation at FCC. They may be eligible for an accommodation plan under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act.  

 

After this request for services is submitted, you will meet with a disability specialist to discuss your request through the interactive process, where DAS will help you determine the impact of your disability and decided if you qualify for an accommodation plan.  Each specific accommodation that you request will be carefully considered.
