Accessibility Services

1. Apply to RCC. Students should complete the college admission process and activate their RCC email account.
2. Submit a request. Complete the online request form or contact Accessibility Services.
3. Complete the intake process. Our office will explain the intake packet and documentation requirements and how to submit materials securely.
4. Discuss accommodations. Meet with Accessibility Services for individualized review and consultation.
5. Receive approved accommodations. When approved, Letters of Accommodation are provided to instructors. Students are encouraged to discuss implementation with instructors.

Meeting options: Meetings may be held in person or virtually through Microsoft Teams. Consultation meetings may also be conducted by phone.

Students are encouraged to begin the process at least one month before accommodations are needed. Requests can be made during the semester; approved accommodations do not apply retroactively, and some services require advance coordination.

Accessibility Services Intake Packet (PDF)

RCC agreement release form

Students requesting accommodations complete the intake packet as part of the review process. Students should contact the office for approved submission instructions.

The online Accessibility Services Request Form is an additional way to contact the office; it does not replace the packet.

Documentation is reviewed individually to help determine eligibility and appropriate accommodations. Previous IEP or 504 Plan records may be considered but may not be sufficient on their own. Contact our office if you have questions about documentation.

Depending on individual needs, reasonable accommodations may include testing adjustments, assistive technology, accessible materials, assistive listening devices, sign language interpreting, and preferential seating. Accommodations are determined through an individualized review.

Already registered with Accessibility Services? You may use the Accessibility Services Request Form to ask for a review of existing accommodations, request changes, or ask a question. You generally do not need to complete a new intake packet each semester unless additional information is needed.

Can I request accommodations after classes begin?

Yes. Requests may be submitted during the semester. Approved accommodations are generally prospective and do not apply to previously completed work.

Can I use my high school IEP or 504 Plan?

These records can be considered during review, but additional documentation may be needed.

Do I need to submit a new request every semester?

Previously approved accommodations generally remain on file. Students are encouraged to check in before a new semester and request changes if needed.

Can meetings be held remotely?

Yes. Meetings may be held in person or via Microsoft Teams, and consultation meetings may be conducted by phone.
