Registering for Services - Colorado College

Registering for Services

All Colorado College students requesting disability-related accommodations and/or services should follow the steps below:

1. Print and complete the Request for Disability Support Services Form and return it to the Disability Services office.
   
   
2. Submit documentation of disability to the Disability Services office. The documentation you provide should come from a qualified professional and should support your request for reasonable accommodations and/or services. For information on general documentation requirements, visit our Documentation Guidelines page.
   
   Please contact Disability Services for guidance on the documentation needed for your individual situation.
   
   
3. Schedule an intake meeting with Jan Edwards, director of Disability Services, to discuss your request for support services and guidelines for accessing specific accommodations and/or services. If applicable, you will be provided with a letter of accommodation for faculty that lists approved classroom accommodations.

   New first-year and transfer students should plan to meet upon arrival to campus, preferably before the first day of class.

Timing of Requests for Disability Support Services

Students who choose to register with Disability Services typically do so soon after acceptance to Colorado College and confirmation to attend. However, students may request services at any time while enrolled at the college. Please keep in mind that due to the intense pace of the Block Plan, it is necessary to request services in a timely manner to allow staff sufficient time to evaluate your request and implement reasonable accommodations and/or services.

We ask that you allow two weeks for the Disability Services staff to review your request for support services and supporting documentation. However, if you need accommodations and/or services implemented sooner, please let us know so we can expedite the review process. After we have reviewed your materials, we will contact you regarding the status of your request.
