Center for Access and Accommodations

College of DuPage is committed to equality of educational opportunities for eligible students with disabilities. If you have the ability to do college-level work and an educational commitment to succeed, we ensure access, provide accommodations and coordinate support services. All students requesting accommodations need to self-identify with the Center for Access and Accommodations and provide app

ropriate documentation of their disability. Documentation may include a diagnosis of disability, academic history, intellectual assessment and recommendations for accommodations. Referrals can be made to outside agencies if students do not have documentation but feel that they might have a disability. Once students contact the office, individual appointments are made to assess needs, explain services and give guidance through the COD process. It is best if students contact the office before classes begin for a smoother transition to College of DuPage. Services are available at both on- and off-campus locations. Services Available:
