Jefferson Community College provides access to reasonable accommodations for each qualified student with a disability through individualized services, specialized equipment, and a supportive environment. A Learning Skills Specialist acts as a liaison between you and JCC staff/faculty as you pursue your educational goals. At the same time, the College also fosters your self-reliance and independence.
A disability is defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act as "any mental or physical condition that substantially limits an individual's ability to perform one or more major life activities."
You must initiate a request for eligibility review by contacting the Learning Skills Specialist (see eligibility criteria ) and to follow stated College policies and procedures when requesting access to reasonable accommodations. It is strongly recommended that you contact the LSC well in advance of classes. Accommodations for placement testing cannot be provided until eligibility has been determined.
Disability services are provided through the Learning and Success Center (LSC) at Jefferson. The LSC provides the academic support and assistance that students need to achieve success in college and beyond. In addition to disability services, the LSC also provides professional tutoring, peer tutoring and placement testing services at no charge to all full- and part-time JCC students, regardless of their program of study. The LSC also provides a comfortable area for individual and small-group study.
