Welcome to Disability Services at UACCM. The primary role of Disability Services is to coordinate services and accommodations for students with disabilities. In doing so, we review disability documentation, meet with students to determine appropriate accommodations, and work with other areas on campus to implement the approved accommodations.

Each year, we assist over 100 students with physical, learning, and psychological disabilities. The office of Disability Services balances the legal rights of students with disabilities and the integrity of UACCM’s institutional standards.

Statement of Purpose

UACCM Disability Services recognizes disability as an aspect of diversity that is integral to society and to the campus community. We are dedicated to: ensuring that all programs and services of the College are accessible; providing reasonable and effective accommodations while promoting independence in the student; offering educational opportunities to students, faculty and staff that enhance understanding of the various types of disabilities, promoting an environment respectful of all; and serving as a resource center for faculty, staff, students and the community.

Mission

The UACCM Disability Services mission is to utilize our expertise in disability and higher education, and work in partnership with the UACCM community to:

• Provide quality services and classroom accommodations to UACCM students with disabilities;
• Facilitate and advocate for reasonable accommodations so that students have equal access to programs, activities and services of the institution;
• Create a safe and welcoming environment;
• Encourage individual potential;
• Assist students in developing skills for self-empowerment, self-advocacy and self-esteem.

If you are a student with a physical, learning, and/or psychological disability, you are asking yourself, “How do I register with Disability Services to receive accommodations?” We welcome you to visit Disability Services at any time during your enrollment at UACCM. We recommend that you make an appointment with our office as early as possible. The office is located within Counseling Services on the second floor of the Business Technology Center (BTC), Room 204.
