Providing equal opportunity is a shared responsibility at Aims Community College. Student Accessibility Services (SAS) supports this commitment by assisting students with documented disabilities to have equal access to the classroom and course content. The office strives to accomplish this by providing qualified students with reasonable academic accommodations as mandated under ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
Disability categories served by the SAS Office include, but are not limited to:
- ADD/ADHD
- Autism Spectrum
- Blind/Low Vision
- Deaf/Hard of Hearing
- Learning Disability
- Multiple Disabilities
- Neurological
- Orthopedic Conditions
- Pregnancy
- Psychiatric/Psychological Disabilities
- Services for Temporary Disabilities
- Traumatic Brain Injury
It is solely the responsibility of the student to disclose their diagnosis to obtain appropriate accommodations. If students wish to self-identify and request accommodations, they should contact the SAS Office to arrange an intake meeting. Students will need to provide appropriate documentation that describes the diagnosed disability and current functional limitations. Students are encouraged to contact the SAS Office as soon as classes are scheduled to help ensure services begin as close to the start of the semester as possible. If requests are approved, Faculty Notification Letters will be made available for students and professors via email. Accommodations will not take effect until the professor has received the approval letter, and accommodations are not retroactive.
To request accommodations, student must:
- Provide current documentation from a qualified professional that includes the diagnosis and describes current functional limitations.
- Meet with a SAS Advisor to complete the Student Intake Form (for new SAS students).
Returning students must notify the SAS Office each semester to request continued services by email, phone, or appointment.
Examples of accommodations:
- Adaptive computer equipment
- Alternative texts
- Assistive technology
- Braille
- Extended test time
- Notes Assistance
- Recording devices
- Sign Language Interpreters
- Test writers and/or readers
Accommodation services for all campuses are coordinated through the Greeley Office. To schedule an intake appointment, please call or email the office. Appointments are available in person or via Zoom.
