Accessibility Services

The goal of Accessibility Services is to promote student independence, arrange reasonable accommodations and course substitution requests for students with disabilities. Our objective is to empower students with disabilities to become self-advocates and support access to college academic and career programs. In order to receive services, a student must self-identify, meet personally with an Accessibility counselor and provide current written verification of his/her disability from a licensed physician, psychologist or mental health professional. The professional must have the credentials to render an appropriate diagnosis on a valid measurement scale. Students requesting accommodations for any Daytona State College placement exam must meet with an accessibility counselor in advance to scheduling the exam to arrange certain accommodations. Students with disabilities who petition to have a course substitution should contact the Accessibility Counselor or contact the Director to have the request processed. Appropriate documentation must be attached. The Course Substitution Committee will determine if the petition will be granted. An appeals/grievance procedure is available if a substitution is denied. You may refer to the Counseling & Accessibility website for more information on the course substitution process. Accessibility Services are available on all Daytona State College campuses. Reasonable accommodations will be made for distance learning students who are unable to attend meetings on one of the College campuses. For more detailed information, please see the most recent student handbook.
