ABOUT THE DRC

The Mission of the Disability Resource Center (DRC) is to foster student inclusion into the SLCC Community through teaching independence, self-advocacy, and responsibility while maintaining an environment that promotes personal, educational and social growth. This is accomplished by:


	Establishing and maintaining a partnership with the student, administration, faculty and staff through a framework of mutual understanding and respect.

	Providing reasonable and appropriate accommodations, insuring equal opportunity and access while maintaining the academic standards of the college.

Proper documentation of a disability establishing a physical or mental impairment which limits a major life activity as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is required in order to receive services or accommodations. All authorizations for services must be reasonable in nature and are individually determined by a qualified advisor.

Reasonable accommodations are based on an evaluation of the specific requests of the student, an evaluation of individual needs, a review of previous accommodations, the recommendations of outside professionals, course requirements, specific classroom situations, and instructor input.

In order to receive accommodation under ADA, a student must apply for services through the DRC.
