Who We Serve
Students who seek academic accommodations for their CRC courses may inquire, apply, and connect with our program. A learning disability, ADHD, Autism, mental health, and/or mobility conditions are common examples of disabilities that are physical, psychological, or cognitive in nature. You may qualify to enroll and receive ongoing support services.
Inquire
Explore DSPS Frequently Asked Questions, or drop-in to chat with a counselor, or explore typical accommodations for individual disabilities to get an idea of adjustments and services that may apply to you. Once you’re ready, please apply! If you do not have a documented disability explore the learning disability checklist.
Apply
We recommend you begin the application process weeks before you start a semester, however, we serve all students who qualify at any time in the year. See Apply for DSPS.
Connect
Each semester, a currently active student is responsible for requesting accommodations and services for their classes. Use the menu on this page to identify a DSPS task.
The most common are:
Steps to Receive Support
1. Gather Information
A student must provide verification of a disability. Examples include an IEP, 504 Plan, Physician or Mental Health Professional letter. We have a Disability Verification Form your health professional can complete.
2. Apply and Plan to See a Counselor
Each college has a DSPS program that facilitates access at their respective college. Once we receive your completed DSPS application, prepare to make an appointment to complete enrollment in DSPS.
3. Meet With a CRC DSPS Counselor
In a one-on-one meeting, a certified counselor approves those accommodations unique to the limitations caused by your disability. Accommodations must be appropriate, reasonable, and may not alter the fundamental nature of the college course or program. Make a DSPS appointment.
4. Reconnect
Every semester of enrollment, you are responsible for reconnecting with DSPS to maintain an active status in DSPS. Reconnecting means seeing the DSPS counselor, requesting/using accommodations or services such as test proctoring, or requesting the letters. Students returning from not attending for a period of semesters, should re-establish with DSPS to re-activate their status.
If you plan to enroll in a course(s) at FLC, SCC or ARC, you must apply to their DSPS program(s) to receive timely local accommodations and services.
