ACC Student Accessibility Services<\/a> (SAS) provides accommodations for qualified students in ACC’s Adult Education and Continuing Education courses.<\/p>\n

Whether you want to earn your high school equivalent (GED), jump start a new career, take courses to help with college preparation, or take a class just for fun, take a look at the information below to choose which program best meets your needs.<\/p>\n

Regardless of how long you’ve been out of school, services may be available to you. While SAS requires documentation of a disability, your history of receiving accommodations, taking special education classes, or receiving modifications in high school will help us determine your eligibility for services.<\/p>\n

Please review the options below and choose the one that is most relevant to you.<\/p>\n

I have current documentation for my disability.<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>\n

Great, please review our documentation guidelines<\/a> and submit your documentation along with our application for services<\/a>. <\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n

The documentation for my disability is no longer current.<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>\n

Don’t worry, you still may be able to receive services.  Please email SAS-noncredit@austincc.edu<\/a> for further assistance. <\/p>\n

I think I may qualify for accommodations, but I don't have documentation of a disability.<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>\n

When you were in school, did a teacher ever tell you that you had a disability?<\/p>\n

Were you in special education? Did you go to ARD meetings with your parents? Were you a 504 student? Did you attend classes or tests in a different room (resource room)?<\/p>\n

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, contact SAS-noncredit@austincc.edu<\/a> for additional help.<\/p>\n

If you answered “no” to all of these questions, please contact SAS@austincc.edu<\/a> to set up a meeting to talk about your next steps.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in being evaluated for a disability, please refer to the Evaluation Resource list<\/a>.<\/p>\n
