Disability Services at SWCC

Southwest Virginia Community College is committed to ensuring that all qualified individuals with disabilities have the opportunity to take part in educational programs and services on an equal basis. The aim is to provide this opportunity in an integrated setting that fosters independence and meets the guidelines in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act. (See Laws Relating to Students with Disabilities - accessible PDF)

Reasonable accommodations are identified for each student on an individual basis and are provided based on the students documented disability and functional limitation in the academic environment. All documentation, medical information, and any other information are confidential according to Federal Confidentiality laws.

It is the responsibility of the individual with disabilities to make their needs known and to provide appropriate documentation of a disability. See Eligibility & Documentation Requirements

In order to receive the accommodation needed, we require that you meet with a disability counselor at least two weeks prior to the beginning of classes.
