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.
