Overview
Accommodations are provided based upon careful consideration of the documentation of the disability, as well as demonstrated need. Students experiencing a disability who come to Delta College are expected to meet the same standards of academic performance as other students. The goal of providing course accommodations is to make classroom adjustments or modify testing procedures in order to increase the students' chances for success. Accommodations must be provided in such a way that the expectations and standards of the particular academic program involved are not compromised. Because students must be able to function as responsible and independent adults, the College can provide students with information and referral assistance. However, students may not always be accommodated through services and equipment.
