The Accessibility Services Office, located in the Parker Student Union, provides and coordinates services to students with disabilities, promotes equal educational opportunities, and provides equal access to all institutional programs and services. Accommodations are provided on an individualized, as-needed basis as regulated by The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of The Rehabilitation Act. Students requesting accommodations must provide appropriate documentation regarding the nature of their disability and the need for accommodation. Examples of accommodations include exam accommodations, note-taking assistance, sign language interpreting, and the use of special equipment.
Hutchinson Community College encourages student self-advocacy and independence on campus by utilizing those services which help maximize learning. In order to have approved accommodations in place on the first day of classes, early contact with the Accessibility Services Office is encouraged.
