Accommodations and Services
PCC Uses an Individualized Accommodation process
PCC Disability Services Counselors meet with students to verify eligibility for specific academic adjustments. Many of those adjustments are then coordinated by staff both within Disability Services (DS) and across PCC. After the orientation and intial meeting with DS to verify eligibility and get login credentials, students will login to our online acommodation management system to make specific requests each term.
