Nash Community College is committed to providing equal access to education for persons with disabilities. Reasonable accommodations are made for students with disabilities who qualify for admission.
Counselors assist with admission and registration as needed, make referrals to and work with agencies which serve the needs of students with disabilities. At the student’s request, the ADA Coordinator will meet with the student to assess individual needs, documentation, and determination of reasonable accommodations. It is the responsibility of the student to make his/her request known to the ADA Coordinator. Current documentation must be provided from a licensed/certified professional that adequately substantiates the need for reasonable accommodations. All documentation and records provided will be maintained in a confidential manner according to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. Requests for accommodations should be made as early as possible, for it may take up to four (4) weeks for reasonable accommodations to be in place.
