[HANDBOOK]

  An educational institution that welcomes and supports a diverse student body, The City College is committed to providing a supportive environment for students with disabilities. To that end, The City College provides a variety of reasonable accommodations, support services and academic adjustments for students with disabilities.

Student accommodations, support services, and academic adjustments are coordinated by The Office of Student Disability Services (SDS). Supporting the academic efforts of students with disabilities is the primary goal of the services and programs provided by SDS. Our mission is to insure, that upon request, qualified students with disabilities are provided with reasonable and effective accommodations as mandated by law. Toward this end, SDS facilitates a range of academic support services and accommodations for students with disabilities.

Early planning is essential for many of the resources and accommodations provided, so we ask that you contact us at the earliest possible date in order for us to assist with your needs.
