Services for Students with Disabilities
St. Petersburg College is committed to the open door concept and provides equal access to campus facilities and educational opportunities to all qualified individuals with disabilities.
It is the responsibility of the student or prospective student to bring to the college's attention the need for academic accommodation due to a qualifying disability. Requests must be supported by appropriate documentation of the relevant disability. Information on the type of documentation needed may be obtained from the Learning Specialist on any campus. Appropriate types of documentation are also listed at www.spcollege.edu/central/ossd/services.htm, the College's main web site for Disability Services. Personnel are available in the Offices of Services for Students with Disabilities at each site to determine eligibility and authorize academic accommodations and to help students obtain other necessary support services.
Students who present acceptable documentation will receive an Authorization for Accommodation Form, listing approved services, from the home campus Learning Specialist. Students whose disabilities may affect their performance in a course or who require special and reasonable accommodations should present this Authorization for Accommodation Form(s) to their instructor(s) at the beginning of the course.
