The process for obtaining reasonable and appropriate accommodations from the Disability Services office is the same for both on ground and online students. It includes two key steps that can be done in any order:
1) Submit documentation of your disability, and
2) Meet with a Disability Services specialist for a preservice appointment. This meeting may be completed by phone or video conferencing for online students.
Both steps must be completed for decision on eligibility for academic accommodations can be determined.
The Office of Disability Services will communicate with you on the status of your request through your NCC email.
Please follow the appropriate timeline to help you receive your accommodations and services as smoothly as possible. Please note that these are our recommendations; they are not deadlines. Students may apply for services at any point during the year.
