What are Accessibility Services?
Accessibility Services are here to ensure that all students have equal access to the educational offerings at the Santa Fe Community College. Many types of diagnosis are represented at the college including learning disabilities, physical impairments, and mental health conditions. If you feel that Accessibility Services would benefit your progress in the classroom, please follow the three step intake process below.
Who is eligible for Accessibility Services?
If you have a documented diagnosis or disability that is impacting your learning, you may qualify for Accessibility Services at SFCC. Documentation may be provided from a previous school, medical professional, or mental health professional.
