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.
Complete the form online or in person with the Director of Student Care & Accessibility, located in the Ron E. Lewis Building, Room 130, (inside the OASIS). 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 Director of Student Care & Accessibility. Documentation can be uploaded with your request form, emailed to the Director of Student Care & Accessibility or brought to your intake meeting. The Director of Student Care & Accessibility will review the Accommodations Request and documentation provided to determine eligibility for reasonable academic accommodations. The Director of Student Care & Accessibility will then contact the student via LSCO school email to schedule an intake meeting.
3. Meet with the Director of Student Care & Accessibility for the Intake meeting.
During the intake meeting, the Director of Student Care & Accessibility 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 student is responsible for providing it to their instructor(s) to make arrangements for their accommodations. A student is responsible for requesting their Accommodations Letter prior to each semester.
5. Notify the Director of Student Care & Accessibility 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 Director of Student Care & Accessibility in a timely manner. You are also advised to inform the Director of Student Care & Accessibility 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.
