Accessibility Services

If you are a new or returning part-time or full-time student who experiences barriers due to physical, mental health, chronic health or learning challenges, we can support you with individualized accommodations and supports. Learning Strategists at NSCC work collaboratively with students, faculty and staff to ensure that the learning environment is accessible.

We work one on one with you to:

• Develop an academic accommodation plan

• Access services such as tutoring and notetaking
• Obtain alternate format textbooks
• Apply for funding for disability-related equipment or services (eg. notetaking, software)
