SUNY Rockland Community College is committed to providing qualified individuals with disabilities full access to all programs, services and facilities as mandated by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. To that end, the Office of Disability Services (ODS) at Rockland Community College provides unique and comprehensive services and accommodations to students with disabilities who desire to pursue college level studies.

The ODS recognizes that many students with specific disabilities have the potential, however, without specialized support services their potential may never be fully realized and developed. Therefore, the ultimate goal of the ODS is to provide supportive services to enhance learning skills for personal, academic, and professional growth.

As a participant in the Office of Disability Services, students have access to life-long learning skills that are necessary for active participation in a competitive society. The ODS staff identifies participants’ level of abilities and provide services that include academic adjustments, auxiliary learning aides, academic advisement, and individualized counseling.

Admissions

An individual who meets the academic and technical standards requisite to admission or participation in any educational program or activity and meets the essential eligibility requirements for the receipt of other services as a qualified individual with a disability may not, on the basis of a disability, be denied admission or be subjected to discrimination based on a disabling condition. A disability is defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act as a physical or mental impairment which "substantially" limits a "major" life activity, has a record of having such impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment.
