NVCC
is committed to serving persons with documented disabilities.
A goal of NVCC is that each qualified student have an equal
opportunity to pursue a college education regardless of the
presence or absence of a disability. To reach that goal,
NVCC will make reasonable accommodations in providing the
course, program and building modifications, and auxiliary
services that are necessary to assure equal access. NVCC
assumes that if you are a student with a disability, you
will assist the College in identifying needed resources and
possible agency sources.
If you require any special services
or accommodations, you should contact the NVCC Counselor
for Students With Disabilities at the campus of your choice
at least four weeks prior to the beginning of classes. To
qualify for these services, you must provide clear and specific
evidence that a qualified professional has established a
formal diagnosis of a disability. Except in certain cases,
the documentation can be no older than three (3) years.
All information
obtained in the diagnostic and medical reports will be maintained
and used in accordance with applicable confidentiality requirements.
College policy reclassifies any student not enrolled for
three full years as inactive. Records of inactive students
will not be maintained.
Questions of compliance
with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973,
as amended, or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),
should be addressed to the Director of Affirmative Action/Minority
and Legal Affairs.
Handicapped parking
spaces are available at each campus. A handicapped permit
issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles of any state or
the District of Columbia is required. The College does not
issue handicapped parking permits.
Each campus and
Extended Learning Institute has identified one or more staff
members to assist you. Areas of assistance include counseling,
registration, special academic needs, and liasion with area
rehabilitative service agencies. Additional information is
available from the NVCC Counselor for Students With Disabilities
on each campus.
You must schedule
an appointment in order to meet with a Disability Counselor.

where you intend to take the majority of your classes.
