Chipola College is committed to making all
programs, services and facilities accessible to and usable by persons with
disabilities in order for students to obtain maximum benefit from the
educational experience and to effectively transition into the college
environment.
Students who have disabilities which may require assistance are requested to voluntarily contact the Office of Students with Disabilities, located in Building A. Students who identify themselves and provide necessary documentation will be eligible for support services. Documentation should be provided by a medical doctor, psychologist or by other licensed or certified specialists recognized to treat the specific disability. To ensure timely accommodations, students should request services prior to the beginning of classes for each semester. Accommodations such as note takers, tutors, interpreters, extended testing time, and individualized pre-registration assistance are available. Specialized equipment such as cassette recorders for "Books on Tape" and closed caption TV are available. The Kurzweil Reading System, a voice synthesized computer aid, may be used in the math lab, both English labs, and the Success Center. Wheelchair desks are available as needed. The Board of Trustees of Chipola College has established policies and procedures for reasonable substitutions for eligible students to meet admission and graduation requirements. The college campus is accessible and special parking is available. For more information, contact the Counselor for Students with Disabilities located in Building A, (850) 718-2417. Note: The college does not provide personal attendant care or transportation.
