ADA Accommodations at Jefferson State
The ADA Accomodations Office
Introduction
Welcome to the Jefferson State Community College ADA Accommodations Office. Our office looks forward to working with you and providing assistance to qualified students with disabilities.
- The ADA Accommodations Office of Jefferson State Community College is committed to making its academic programs and services accessible to qualified students who have disabilities.
- Our goal is to provide students who have disabilities equal opportunities to develop and demonstrate their academic skills, while maintaining the academic integrity of the College programs.
- Consistent with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), and the American Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA) it is the policy of Jefferson State Community College that no qualified person with a disability shall be subjected to discrimination because of that disability under any program or activity conducted or sponsored by the College.
- Enrollment Services handles all applications for admission. Admission standards must be met by all students, regardless of disability. When to self-identify as a student with a disability is a decision for the student. However, prospective students are encouraged to contact the ADA Accommodations Office early for information regarding services and facilities. All disability documentation must be submitted directly to the ADA Accommodations Office. If accommodations are needed for placement testing, disability documentation must be on file with the ADA Accommodations Office.
Mission Statement
