Student Accessibility Services
Central Resource for Students with Disabilities
Student Accessibility Services (SAS) at Central Arizona College serves as the primary resource for students with disabilities, ensuring equitable access to educational opportunities. SAS coordinates reasonable accommodations that provide equal access to classes, programs, services, and campus activities. These accommodations are individualized supports designed to mitigate disability-related barriers, enabling students to fully demonstrate their knowledge, skills, and abilities.
How Do I Request Accommodations?
There is a Student Accessibility Services (SAS) representative located at each of the Central Arizona Campuses. Students, faculty, and staff are invited to speak with an SAS specialist for more information about accommodations. Academic accommodations may be provided to Central Arizona College students who have registered with the Student Accessibility Services and have appropriate documentation.
Students with disabilities who require accommodations must first complete the registration form. Once this form is submitted, you may schedule your initial appointment to establish eligibility and determine your accommodations.
Personalized Accommodations
Accommodations are personalized for each student and determined through a collaborative process involving the student, accessibility staff, faculty, college partners, and the use of universal design principles. So, the needs of each student are assessed on a course-by-course basis to ensure the best support.
Students who might qualify for accommodations include those who:
- Had an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504 Plan in K-12
- Received accommodations at another school or college, or
- Have a diagnosed condition that affects major life activities.
- Have physical Disabilities
- Have vision, speech, and/or hearing impairments.
- Cognitive, Neurological, and/or psychological impairments
- Temporary or permanent medical illness or injury
- Other medical conditions not listed above that are documented by a qualified professional and present a barrier to the student’s education
