Student Accessibility Services

Student Accessibility Services (SAS) at Central Arizona College is the central resource for students with disabilities to ensure access to their education. SAS helps students with disabilities by providing accommodations that ensure equal access to classes, programs, and activities. These accommodations are supports designed to reduce the challenges caused by a disability, allowing students to fully demonstrate their knowledge and abilities. 

Accommodations are customized for each student and determined through a collaborative process involving the student, accessibility staff, faculty, college partners, and the use of universal design principles. The needs 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. 

Our Goals 

  • Provide reasonable accommodations and support services. 
  • Support students in achieving their educational and career goals. 
  • Develop strong self-advocacy skills, independence, and self-reliance. 
  • Enhance self-awareness, self-esteem, and personal identity. 
  • Overcome challenges and achieve academic success.
