Students must be willing to recognize their disability and then utilize the reasonable accommodations they need. This may mean adjusting attitudes and goals, or learning new ways to get organized. Using Disability Support Services is one important way to help create success.
Students with disabilities are responsible for notifying the college of their disabilities if they wish to have accommodations provided. Neither NATC nor Disability Support Services requires students with disabilities to register with them. Accommodation requests must be made with Disability Support Services, and specific documentation must be provided verifying the disability. After the student has registered with Disability Support Services, and if specific accommodations are requested, Disability Support Services will contact faculty members before or at the beginning of the semester to inform them of the student's particular needs. Students need to act in a timely manner to permit instructors time to plan for the accommodations requested.
Students with disabilities must maintain the same academic standards and maintain the same appropriate behavior as students without disabilities.
