Office of Disability Support Services
At Lansing Community College's Office of Disability Support Services, we offer you accommodations to help you deal with obstacles so that you can focus on your education.
Lansing Community College is committed to making accommodations and providing
services for persons with disabilities. The College has administrative and
faculty specialists who respond to visual, hearing, mobility, and alternative
learning needs. The College adheres to the standards and guidelines set forth in
the Americans With Disabilities Act.
To be eligible for services and accommodations through ODSS, students are
required to provide written verification of their disability. Documentation must
be signed and dated by a qualified professional who has diagnosed the
disability. If necessary, the ODSS staff can help students find the appropriate
professionals to diagnose their disability. Students must have documentation of
a disability on file in ODSS offices before services and accommodations for
classes can be provided.
Many reasonable accommodations require significant pre-planning, therefore,
registration with the Office of Disability Support Services prior to
situations requiring accommodations is essential. Requests must be
completed well in advance of enrollment as some accommodations may take six
weeks or longer to be determined and/or arranged. Lansing Community College will
attempt to provide accommodations in a timely manner; however, it is the
student's responsibility to request accommodations and provide proper
documentation in advance of the semester for which accommodations are requested.
Accommodations will not be made retroactively.
