"My ability is stronger than my disability."

Procedure for obtaining Disability and Access Services:
- Schedule an Intake Interview with the DAS 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 DAS 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!
