Mission Statement
The AccessAbility Center/Student Disability Services (AAC/SDS) ensures full participation and meaningful access to all of The City College of New York's (CCNY) services, programs, and activities in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, The Amendments Act of 2008, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Fair Housing Act of 1968, and other applicable Federal, State, and local non-discrimination laws. AAC/SDS accomplishes this goal through the coordination and implementation of academic adjustments, auxiliary aids, and support services for students with disabilities. The Center actively works toward full inclusion and the removal of access barriers in policies, procedures, and practices. AAC/SDS engages in increasing disability awareness among members of CCNY community through workshops, trainings, and the dissemination of literature.
CUNY Accommodate
CUNY Accommodate is the core electronic case management system that assists students, faculty, instructors, and staff in requesting, approving, and implementing disability-related accommodations.
If you are already connected with the Center for Student Accessibility (CSA) and have approved accommodations, We are now pleased to share with you a link to the CUNY Accommodate application, as well as Instructional Videos and Documentation Guides. These are self-paced, explain aspects of the system in detail, and provide instructions for accessing and using CUNY Accommodate.
If you are not connected with the CSA and anticipate or are experiencing a disability-related barrier, and would like to discuss accommodations and/or resources, please contact CSA by completing the Student Accommodation Request form.
We encourage you to familiarize yourself with CUNY Accommodate by exploring our self-directed instructional videos and comprehensive guides that walk you through what you need to know to use the system. You can access these resources and the CUNY Accommodate system using the links below.
