Accommodations Resource Office

1. We will need students to fill out a request for accommodations (PDF).
2. We will need documentation from a qualified provider. This could include the following:
   1. MDT & IEP from your high school.
   2. 504 Plan and supporting documentation from your high school.
   3. Signed letter from a qualified provider stating your diagnosis.
3. Please reach out to us once you have this information, so we can talk about how our office can support you.

If you have already met with an Accommodations Office Advisor to set up accommodations, you can renew your accommodations at any time.

• Send us an email and let us know you are registered for classes, and you need us to send out your accommodations.

Southeast Community College recognizes the importance of providing reasonable accommodations in its residence halls to remove barriers to access, where necessary, for individuals with disabilities to use and enjoy College housing. Requests for housing accommodations should be submitted before the request deadline for the semester you are planning to move-in. Fall Deadline: April 15; Spring Deadline: October 5. We will review and consider all requests that come in, however, we cannot guarantee that an accommodation can be provided if received after the request deadline for the semester you are planning to move-in.

If students have any questions about what is needed to request an accommodation for housing, please don’t hesitate to reach out to The Accommodations Resource Advisor for their campus! Contact information for the Accommodations Resource Advisor on your campus can be found above.

Assistance Animal Requests
Students who are currently working with a mental health professional, and have an assistance animal as part of their treatment plan, can request to bring their assistance animal to the residence hall. To learn more about this process, please contact the Accommodations Resource Advisor on your campus. Students need to obtain the appropriate documents from this office to request an assistance animal in residence halls. (Please note: this process differs from other housing requests and does require the student to contact the Accommodations Resource Office before submitting a request). The College generally does not approve exotic animals, reptiles, amphibians, or other animals that carry zoonotic diseases.

All Other Housing Accommodation Requests
For all other housing accommodation requests, students will fill out the Reasonable Accommodations Request Form, and email this to the Accommodations Resource Advisor on their campus. In most situations, students will also need to submit documentation of their disability from a qualified professional. Once the request form is received, the Accommodations Advisor will reach out to schedule a meeting to discuss the request.

Students who have previously had accommodations approved, can renew their accommodations for the next term. Please reach out to the Accommodations Resource Advisor on your campus if you will need the same accommodation for the next term. Renewal requests need to be made before the request deadline for the following semester. Fall Deadline: April 15; Spring Deadline: October 5.  If a renewal request is made after the request deadline, the Accommodations Resource Office cannot guarantee that the same housing accommodation will be in place for the subsequent term.

Accommodations are also available for online classes. Any student with a documented disability or that is wanting to learn more about accommodations for an online class at SCC can follow the same process described under the “Requesting Accommodations” section on this page.

If a student believes that an accommodation(s) is ineffective or that they have been denied equal access to appropriate accommodations, modifications, auxiliary aids, or effective communication, and efforts to resolve the issues are unsuccessful, a student may file a complaint. Students are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns through their campus Accommodations Resource Office. Students may use the College’s accommodations concerns procedure to appeal decisions regarding student accommodations, and may do so without first going through the College’s informal grievance process.
