Accommodations
Accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis considering an individual's limitations and the academic demands and responsibilities of residential life at LC State.
Common Accommodations
A student with a disability is any student who has an impairment that substantially limits a major activity such as caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, hearing, speaking, breathing, walking, seeing, learning, or working. Students with temporary disabilities may also qualify for accommodations. The list below provides information on some of the most common accommodations.
Alternate Test Services may include a student needing an alternate testing room (a noise-reduced environment) and/or an extended testing time outside of the in-class time period. Once the need for an accommodation regarding testing is documented, and testing accommodations are assigned, contact the LC State Testing Center to schedule your test a week in advance. Review the responsibilities for students, faculty, and the Testing Center on the Alternate Test Services page.
Students who are approved for note-taking accommodations have a number of options for receiving their accommodations. Different options may be preferable based on the student’s learning style, the nature of the courses, the nature of the student’s disability, or the student’s previous experience. These options will be discussed during your appointment if this is an accommodation appropriate for you.
LC State complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in allowing use of service animals for students, staff and visitors. LC State complies with the Fair Housing Act in allowing students the use of emotional support animals that are approved as an accommodation. If you are requesting an accommodation for a service/emotional support animal please apply through the Online Services portal.
Sign language interpreters are available for students who request them. Contact Accessibility Services to register for services prior to requesting an interpreter. Interpreters may be in-person or via online video conferencing.
Students with print disabilities (visual impairments, learning disabilities) may qualify for alternative forms of textbooks.
