Students with Disabilities

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Parkland College provides auxiliary aids and services for students with documented disabilities. Students with disabilities who desire academic accommodations must register with the Office of Disability Services (X148, 217/353-2338, TTY 217/353-2251) to discuss their needs.

Parkland’s services for students with disabilities include textbooks in alternate format, classroom note takers, interpreting services, special testing arrangements, and more. Adaptive equipment includes talking calculators, tape recorders, FM systems for hearing enhancement, CCTVs, specialized software, and a Braille printer.

Students with disabilities, like all students, are expected to comply with all standards and policies of the college, including admission procedures, behavior/conduct, assessment testing, attendance, auditing a class, and others. More information about Parkland’s policies and procedures can be found in this catalog (see index for specific listings).

Students who feel they have been excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of, any program, service, or activity due to their disability are encouraged to contact the coordinator of disability services at the above number. Parkland’s Student Policies and Procedures Manual contains the ADA Grievance Policy and Procedures. This information is available at www.parkland.edu/studentpolicy, from the coordinator of disability services (X148), or the vice president for student services (A123).
