Accessibility Services
Special accommodations are provided for students with disabilities. A student wishing to receive academic accommodations at Lamar State College Orange must:
1. Complete the Accommodations Request form.
This form is located below on this webpage, or can be completed in person with the Accessibility Coordinator, located in the Advising Department. This form provides the student an opportunity to disclose their diagnosis and request specific accommodations.
2. Submit Documentation
Provide sufficient and current documentation in the form of an evaluation performed by a qualified professional (such as a licensed physician, psychologist or audiologist) to the Accessibility Coordinator. Documentation can be uploaded with your request form, emailed to the Accessibility Coordinator or brought to your intake meeting. The Accessibility Coordinator will review the Accommodations Request and documentation provided to determine eligibility for reasonable academic accommodations. The Accessibility Coordinator will then contact the student vis LSCO school email to schedule an intake meeting.
3. Meet with the Accessibility Coordinator for the Intake meeting.
During the intake meeting, the Accessibility Coordinator will discuss the process for implementing accommodations, the responsibilities and expectations of the student. An Accommodations Letter will be completed during the meeting.
4. Accommodations Letter
Once the letter is completed after the Intake Meeting, the Accessibility Coordinator will send it out to the instructors for signature. Once all instructors have signed, the student will be asked to sign and receive a copy of the Accommodations Letter. A student is responsible for requesting their Accommodations Letter prior to each semester. An Intake meeting is not necessary, but the Accessibility Coordinator will need the student’s schedule.
5. Notify the Accessibility Coordinator of Accommodation concerns or changes in disability.
If you have any concerns about the implementation or effectiveness of your accommodations, including any issues with instructors over your accommodations, please contact the Accessibility Coordinator in a timely manner. You are also advised to inform the Accessibility Coordinator of any changes in your disability that would present a need for changes in your accommodations. You may need to submit updated documentation if you are requesting additional accommodations.
