Procedure for obtaining Disability Support Services:
- Schedule an Intake Interview with the DSS Director.
- Obtain and provide documentation of your disability prior to the intake, if possible. (During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible to
be approved for accommodations without providing medical documentation of your disability.)
- Conduct intake with the DSS Director and discuss your specific needs.
- Once approved for accommodations, fill out a Quarterly Request for Academic Accommodations and attach a copy of your schedule.
We can assist with campus resources, academic coaching, and even guide you with the
process of becoming an LCC student. We are committed to your growth and success as
a college student and look forward to meeting you soon!
