The Disability Support Services (DSS) office, under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), advocates for students with disabilities in support of AACC's commitment to make all students the best citizens and workers of the world. At DSS, we strive to provide equal access to educational opportunities for qualified students with disabilities and to promote full participation of all students in college life.
In order to receive classroom accommodations, all self-identified students must provide current documentation, and DSS advisors are available to meet with students to discuss the procedures necessary to obtain appropriate documentation and to identify accommodations for which a student is eligible.
